Caring for someone with dementia is hard. You may not have to do it alone.

Your loved one may qualify for GUIDE if they:

Short-term rehab stays may not automatically disqualify someone. We can help review the situation.

GUIDE is designed to support both the person living with dementia and the family caregiver.

Services may include:

1. Contact Home to Stay. Call us or complete the form so we can learn more about your loved one’s situation.
2. We help check eligibility. Please have your medicare ID number ready. We’ll help determine whether your loved one may meet GUIDE requirements.
3. Connect with PocketRN. If eligible, you’ll be connected with a dementia-trained nurse care team for virtual support.
4. Receive approved respite care. For families who qualify for the respite benefit, Home to Stay can provide in-home caregiver support.

Is this really no cost?

For eligible GUIDE participants, covered GUIDE services are provided with no patient cost-sharing. That means no copays for covered GUIDE services, including eligible respite care.

Does Medicare Advantage qualify?

No. GUIDE is for people enrolled in Original Medicare Parts A and B. Medicare Advantage plans, including Special Needs Plans, are not eligible under the current CMS eligibility rules.

Does my loved one need a dementia diagnosis?

Yes. Dementia must be confirmed by an appropriate clinician, but families who are unsure where to start can contact us for guidance.

Is the respite care guaranteed?

No. Respite care depends on eligibility, dementia stage, caregiver need, and Medicare’s annual respite limits.

Who provides the home care?

Home to Stay provides approved in-home respite care through trained caregivers, in partnership with PocketRN’s dementia care team.

Dementia care can be overwhelming. GUIDE may provide meaningful support at no out-of-pocket cost, including nurse guidance, caregiver coaching, care coordination, and respite care for eligible families.
