Expanding Evidence-Based Comprehensive Dementia Care
Grant Summary
Two grants will support a partnership between the Education Development Center (EDC), the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and the Benjamin Rose Institute on Aging to ensure that people with dementia and their caregivers receive high-quality, evidence-based care.
In 2024, the CMS Innovation Center selected participants for the GUIDE Model, a new approach to fund comprehensive dementia care that addresses the needs of those living with dementia and their caregivers. Through this grant, the partners will educate and support 120 GUIDE and non-GUIDE sites to successfully implement effective comprehensive dementia care programs. The National Dementia Care Collaborative summit, educational sessions, and resources will support GUIDE and non-GUIDE dementia care programs to expand care nationally, regardless of payer. Additionally, physician groups involved in value-based care will be engaged and educated on comprehensive dementia care models.
