In this webinar, the Administration for Community Living and the Aging and Disability Business Institute will discuss opportunities for our network to engage in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Innovation Center’s new dementia care initiative, known as the Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) model. GUIDE focuses on dementia care management with the intent to support people living with dementia and their caregivers in their homes and communities for as long as possible. This webinar will explore the roles of aging network organizations and rationale for developing and delivering sustainable contracted services.

Members of the aging network are well-positioned to participate in and/or partner with this program as providers of the range of home and community services required by CMS Innovation Center. This webinar will provide important details on how to become meaningfully involved in this initiative. The webinar will conclude with a question-and-answer period.
