Dementia Care/GUIDE Program
Caring for a loved one with dementia can be both deeply meaningful and incredibly challenging. Our Dementia Care services are designed to support individuals living with cognitive conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, while also supporting the families who care for them. We provide compassionate, personalized care that focuses on safety, comfort, and maintaining the highest possible quality of life. Our services include specialized in-home support and respite care, giving family members and caregivers the opportunity to rest, recharge, and tend to their own needs—knowing their loved one is in capable and caring hands. These are non-medical services and are usually paid by VA, Long-Term Care Insurance or Privately Funded.
Dementia-specific support may include, but is not limited to:
-
Use of person-centered dementia care techniques
-
Redirection and de-escalation in response to behavioral symptoms
-
Maintaining routines to help reduce confusion
-
Behavioral observations, including monitoring for agitation, confusion, or mood changes
The GUIDE Model Program

The CMS GUIDE Model is a Medicare program from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services designed to improve care for people living with dementia. It provides funding to healthcare organizations to coordinate comprehensive dementia care, support caregivers, and help patients remain safely at home while reducing unnecessary hospitalizations and emergency visits. We have partnered with Wovenly to bring this program to the Texas Panhandle.
