Memory Care at Broadlawns Medical Center: Embracing the GUIDE Model
At Broadlawns Medical Center, we recognize that navigating dementia care is a complex journey for individuals and their families. That's why our Memory Center section proudly implements the GUIDE Model - a holistic and compassionate approach designed to enhance the quality of life for those living with dementia while providing vital support for their caregivers.
What is the GUIDE Model?
The GUIDE Model offers a comprehensive and coordinated strategy for dementia care. Our mission is to empower individuals to remain in their homes and communities, alleviating the often-overwhelming burdens faced by unpaid caregivers. By leveraging Medicare payments to fund a wide array of services, we ensure that every aspect of care is thoughtfully addressed.

We utilize a consistent methodology for dementia care that prioritizes quality standards, comprehensive staff training, and specialized services tailored to the unique needs of individuals and their caregivers.
2. Alternative Payment Method
Through a monthly payment system provided by CMS, we foster a collaborative, team-based approach to care, ensuring each beneficiary receives personalized attention and essential resources.
3. Supporting Unpaid Caregivers
Acknowledging the crucial role of caregivers, the GUIDE Model mandates comprehensive training and supporting services, including 24/7 access to a support hotline and connections to local community resources, empowering caregivers to thrive.
4. Providing Respite Services
Our respite care options - temporary assistance available at home, in adult care, or in dedicated facilities-allow caregivers to take essential breaks, ensuring both they and individuals with dementia receives the care and support they need.
5. Screening for Health-Related Social Needs
Our dedicated team conducts through screenings for psychosocial and health-related needs (HRSNs), connecting individuals with local community organizations to enhance their overall well-being.
