Welcome To Our GUIDE Program
Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience. We are grateful to be among a few provider groups nationally selected by Medicare to offer this new comprehensive dementia care program. At Healthspan Partners of our mission is to improve quality of life for people living with dementia while supporting their caregivers.
The GUIDE program is a medically managed care management program that provides comprehensive assessment and care planning, care coordination, caregiver support, and respite (personal care) services at no cost to Medicare beneficiaries. We serve people with diagnosed or suspected dementia and their caregivers. In this program, a caregiver is any unpaid individual, such as a family member or friend, who provides care or assistance to someone with dementia.
