What is the GUIDE model?
The GUIDE (Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience) Model is an innovative program introduced by
the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This program is designed to provide comprehensive,
coordinated care for individuals living with dementia. The GUIDE Model’s mission is to improve the quality
of life for dementia patients, reduce the burden on their caregivers and enable individuals to continue
living in their homes and communities for as long as possible.
As a participant in the GUIDE Model, Sabio Health is committed to delivering high-quality care and support
through personalized care plans, caregiver education, and comprehensive care coordination.
