Embrace Provides Dementia Care
Under Medicare's GUIDE Model
Dementia is a difficult disease to manage, whether you are a patient or a caregiver. This is why Medicare has started the GUIDE program with no copays or deductibles to help dementia patients and their caregivers. You do NOT have to change doctors to participate in GUIDE.
- Embrace provides a comprehensive assessment and develops a personalized care plan.
- We provide skilled care navigators to provide care for both patients and caregivers.
- Your care navigator coordinates your care with your primary doctor and any specialists.
- In recognition of the value caregivers provide in patient care, Medicare will cover $2500 of respite care annually to support qualifying caregivers.
