Friedman Center for Aging at The Brown School, Bethany Goff, MSW, LCSW, MA, EverTrue, presents on the Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model.
The GUIDE Model focuses on comprehensive, coordinated dementia care and 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. It will achieve these goals through Medicare payments for a comprehensive package of care coordination and care management, caregiver education and support, and respite services.
It advances key goals of the National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease, which was established through the bipartisan National Alzheimer’s Project Act (NAPA) and has, for over a decade, accelerated federal actions to optimize the quality of care for people with dementia and their caregivers while advancing research towards a cure. The GUIDE Model builds off of this extensive coordination within Health and Human Services and major input from various external stakeholders. https://happenings.wustl.edu/event/issues-in-aging-bethany-goff-msw-lcsw-ma-evertrue-presents-on-the-guiding-an-improved-dementia-experience-guide-model
