The Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model might be one of the biggest steps in the right direction for recent Medicare policy. The eight-year voluntary nationwide program was launched last year by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), with the goal of supporting individuals living with dementia, as well as their unpaid caregivers. The program’s focus is more important than ever, with an estimated 6.7 million people living with dementia. This amount is expected to skyrocket to 14 million cases by 2060, according to data made available by CMS.
