Supporting Your Loved One with Dementia

Homedica’s GUIDE Program is designed to help families navigate the challenges of dementia care with confidence and support. Through personalized services and a dedicated care navigator, we partner with you to make caring for your loved one easier, safer, and less overwhelming.

Who Can Enroll in the Program?

The GUIDE Program is available to individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Patients must have a formal dementia diagnosis and need regular support with daily activities or care needs. Caregivers who provide day-to-day assistance to their loved one are also included in the program and can benefit from added support and resources. If you’re unsure about eligibility, our team can help guide you through the process.
