Craniometrix GUIDE
Get help caring for your loved ones
Introducing the GUIDE program – a new Medicare-funded service from Arizona Neurology Associates and Craniometrix, designed to help you care for your loved one with dementia while giving you the support you deserve
The Reality of Caring for Someone with Dementia
Caring for a loved one with dementia can be one of life’s most challenging journeys. The constant vigilance, emotional toll, and physical demands can leave you exhausted and isolated.
In Arizona, 257,000 family caregivers provide more than half a billion hours of unpaid care each year. People like you are putting their own health, finances, and well-being on hold to care for someone they love.
The financial burden alone can be crushing, with the national average for out-of-pocket costs for dementia care exceeding $9,000 per year. And the emotional impact is just as significant—nationally, 59% of dementia caregivers rate their emotional stress as high or very high.
That’s why we’ve partnered to bring a new kind of support directly to you – support that recognizes both the needs of your loved one and your needs as a caregiver.
How the GUIDE Program Works for You
The Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) program is a new model of care from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) designed specifically for people living with dementia and their caregivers.
Its primary goals are to reduce the strain on caregivers like you and help your loved one with dementia remain safely in their home environment for as long as possible.
Arizona Neurology Associates continues to provide all medical care, while our trusted partner, Craniometrix (affiliated with Johns Hopkins University), delivers specialized caregiver support and care navigation.
This comprehensive program is funded by Medicare for enrolled patients who qualify, meaning these valuable services are available to you at no additional cost.
