GUIDE Clinic medical staff Kelly Zolman AGNP-C reports that the first weeks of operation have been busy welcoming individuals living with dementia either alone or with their caregivers. They represented all stages of the dementia journey – early, middle and late stages.

Patients early on in their journey are finding that things can change quickly and that the AIHS GUIDE Clinic is a safe place for them to land for support and guidance. Caregivers and patients that come to the Clinic and are later in their dementia journey are finding lots of relief they seem to have been looking for in the respite and education. The GUIDE Program is able to support the individual with dementia living alone or with a caregiver through their individual unique experience.

Denying offers like genetic tests, cardio genetic tests, back braces, etc., over the phone from unsolicited calls is a great way to protect your Medicare information. Unfortunately, it might not be enough.

Be sure to review your Medicare statements for telehealth visits you don't think should be there as scammers are now billing Medicare beneficiaries as if these calls were medical appointments.
