Did you know there’s a new program that may provide up to $2,500 per year in respite support for caregivers of people living with dementia? 💙

The GUIDE (Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience) Model, launched through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, is transforming how dementia care is delivered under Medicare.

Here’s what GUIDE focuses on:
✅ Comprehensive, coordinated dementia care
✅ Support and training for family caregivers
✅ Up to $2,500 annually for respite services (for eligible participants)
✅ 24/7 access to care teams
✅ Help navigating community-based services

If you or a loved one is enrolled in Medicare and facing the challenges of dementia, this model could mean more personalized care and less stress for caregivers.

Talk to your healthcare provider or visit Medicare.gov to learn whether GUIDE services are available in your area.

As cancer therapies improve and increasingly achieve cures or recurring periods of remission, preventing and managing damage to organs from cancer treatment has become a top concern. That includes injury to the heart, says Joerg Herrmann, M.D., a cardiologist and the founder and director of the Cardio-Oncology Clinic at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.

Use of a urinary catheter can be especially challenging in individuals with dementia. Confusion, agitation, and discomfort may lead to repeated attempts to remove the catheter, increasing the risk of trauma and infection. While catheterization is sometimes unavoidable, creative approaches can help reduce harm.

One interesting strategy is the use of a decoy catheter—a simple but effective distraction technique described in a case report by Schomer NS and Mohler JL in the The Journal of Urology (1990).

A great reminder that sometimes small, patient-centered innovations can make a meaningful difference in dementia care.

Behind every family we serve is a story that reminds us why we do what we do.
One recent family shared:

“Your care team helped my father so much, even in a short time. Knowing he was cared for allowed me to manage things remotely. My only regret is not implementing your help well before I knew about you. Thank you for bringing comfort during such an unpleasant time.”

We’re here to support, guide, and bring comfort—whenever you need us.

Great to see the outcomes of new research to end Alzheimer’s

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BVNFqE6dk/?mibextid=wwXIfr

A new Mayo Clinic study offers hope in the fight against Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers have developed a tool that estimates a person's risk of developing memory and thinking problems years before symptoms appear.

Using age, s*x, genetics and brain imaging, the model can forecast the likelihood of developing mild cognitive impairment or dementia — offering new possibilities for earlier intervention and prevention.
