Current Outcomes of the Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience Model

The objective of our presentation is to spread awareness of the Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model and discuss the successes and challenges so far experienced at the University of Toledo’s (UT) program. This model was created to support patients with dementia and their caregivers by providing care navigation, 24/7 access to a support line, dementia education and training, community resource connections, and reimbursement for respite services. The program began in July 2024 and will continue for 8 years with 330 facilities involved across the United States.
