How it Works

Caring for someone with dementia can be isolating, confusing, and exhausting—but you don’t have to do it alone. PocketRN has partnered with leading organizations across the country to bring Medicare’s Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model directly to families like yours.

If you're supporting a loved one with dementia, you may now qualify for nurse-led, whole-person support—at no cost to you. This includes paid in-home respite hours, 24/7 care team access, caregiver education, and compassionate guidance every step of the way.

This is support you’ve earned and deserve—available when you and your loved one need it most.
