GUIDE(치매 경험 개선 가이드)
Do you know someone living with dementia?
Caring for someone with dementia can be overwhelming. Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience or GUIDE is designed to ease that
burden by surrounding you with a dedicated care team, clear guidance and practical support — every step of the way
What Is GUIDE?
GUIDE is a new Medicare program that supports people living with dementia and the caregivers who care for them. Through GUIDE, qualifying seniors receive coordinated dementia care, caregiver support and access to respite services — at no cost.
Consumer Direct Care Network Arizona is your trusted partner in navigating GUIDE and self-directed home care.

What to Look For on Your Card
- Medicare Number – This is the unique number printed on the front of your card. It is not your Social Security number.
- Part A and Part B Coverage – GUIDE is available to individuals enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B.
Your Medicare number is typically shown near your name on the card and may include both letters and numbers.
