W07M Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (Zoom)

Zoom | Available (Membership Required)

[NEW CLASS] By 2025 about 7 million Americans are expected to be living with dementia, and, if current demographic and health trends continue, more than 9 million could have dementia by 2030. The Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model focuses on comprehensive, coordinated dementia care. It aims to improve quality of life for people with dementia, reduce strain on their unpaid caregivers, and enable people with dementia to remain in their homes and communities. These goals are achievable through Medicare payments for a comprehensive package of care coordination and care management, caregiver education and support, and respite services.
