CMS GUIDE MODEL

No-Cost Support for Families Living with Dementia Nationwide

For families with Traditional Medicare and a dementia diagnosis

We are the Only CMS GUIDE Provider Operating in All 50 States

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation created the Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) model to improve quality of life for people with dementia, lessen the load on unpaid caregivers, and keep families in their homes as long as possible.  Through GUIDE, Synapticure offers comprehensive care coordination for patients and caregivers living with Dementia, as well as access to in-home or facility-based respite care. All of this is available at no cost to Medicare beneficiaries.

Dementia Care Made Simple — From Diagnosis to Daily Life

A Team That Knows Dementia Inside and Out

Neurologists, geriatricians, behavioral health experts, and trained Care Navigators all work together to create a personalized plan that evolves with your needs. ​

No Bills, No Surprises

GUIDE services are fully covered by Medicare Parts A and B. That means no out-of-pocket costs for care coordination, caregiver support, or respite services. ​

Help Is Always a Call Away

Questions or concerns? A live support line staffed by 
dementia-trained professionals is available 24/7 to assist you and your family. ​

Time Off for Caregivers

Unpaid caregivers can access up to $2,500 annually for respite care—whether in-home, at adult day centers, or short-term facilities—giving them essential breaks to rest and recharge. ​

Quick Access to Specialized Care

No long waits here. Most families connect with a dementia specialist within a week of enrollment, ensuring timely support when it matters most.
