A core promise of the CMS GUIDE Model is delivering measurably better outcomes for individuals living with dementia. By emphasizing early intervention, continuous care coordination, and robust support for caregivers, patients are less likely to experience health crises that lead to avoidable hospital admissions or complications. Over time, this translates into more stable day-to-day routines, better symptom management, and a noticeable reduction in healthcare costs. Caregivers likewise benefit from a framework that addresses their needs—ensuring they have the tools, respite services, and educational resources necessary to provide consistent, high-quality care. Through shared decision-making, targeted interventions, and ongoing communication among all care partners, the GUIDE Model helps foster a higher overall quality of life, with each step guided by evidence-based best practices and patient-centered values.
