NEW YORK, New York, April 9, 2024 – Isaac Health, a leading national provider of brain health and dementia care, has been accepted in the established and new model tracks of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model.
The GUIDE Model focuses on enhancing care for individuals living with dementia and their families through advanced care management, respite care, and caregiver support. As a GUIDE Program, Isaac Health’s team of clinicians and care navigators will provide patients and their caregivers with personalized treatment planning through telehealth, advanced care coordination, caregiver support, respite services, and a 24/7 hotline in alignment with the GUIDE Model.
“No one should have to feel lost or abandoned by the healthcare system, especially while also facing a devastating neurodegenerative disease like Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. We’re proud to leverage our clinical expertise in the field to provide the highest quality of comprehensive dementia care possible to patients and their families,” said Joel Salinas, MD, Chief Medical Officer and co-founder of Isaac Health. “Making cutting-edge, compassionate, and well-coordinated dementia care accessible to all who need it has been our mission from the start, and we’re thrilled to be able to continue building on our history of supporting patients and their families navigating the journey of dementia care through the GUIDE Model.”
Isaac Health is ready to collaborate with patients, primary care groups, health systems, and health plans to implement the GUIDE Model, leveraging its experience and evidence-based care model. For more information about the Isaac Health’s GUIDE program, visit myisaachealth.com/guide.
