What is the GUIDE Model?
At Vesper Medical Care, we understand the complexities of providing top-notch care to seniors in long-term care, skilled nursing, and assisted living facilities. That’s why we use the GUIDE Model—a comprehensive approach to healthcare delivery that focuses on improving resident outcomes, streamlining care processes, and minimizing unnecessary hospitalizations. By integrating advanced technology and on-site medical expertise, we help facilities like yours provide the highest standard of care for your residents.
Partner Facility Benefits
How the GUIDE Model Benefits Our Facilities
Improved Care Coordination
The GUIDE Model emphasizes comprehensive and coordinated dementia care through the use of a dedicated Care Navigator, who ensures that patients receive both clinical and non-clinical services. This helps facilities manage residents’ care more efficiently by connecting them to community-based resources like transportation and meal services.
Hospitalization and Emergency Room Reduction
One of the key objectives of the GUIDE Model is to reduce hospitalizations and emergency department visits by addressing residents' health needs proactively. With a standardized approach to care, facilities can prevent avoidable hospital transfers, reducing operational strain and improving resident satisfaction.
Alternative Payment Model
CMS provides a monthly per-beneficiary payment to facilities, supporting a team-based, collaborative care approach. This financial structure helps facilities manage costs more effectively while providing high-quality care to residents with dementia.
24/7 Support Line Access
The GUIDE Model offers facilities access to a 24/7 support line for dementia patients and caregivers, which helps prevent crises, alleviates caregiver stress, and provides continuous care oversight.
Chronic Care Management and Behavioral Health Integration
Facilities benefit from enhanced services, including managing the chronic conditions and behavioral health symptoms often associated with dementia. The integration of behavioral health helps reduce the need for outside services and allows for more cohesive care within the facility.
Respite Services for Caregivers
CMS covers respite care services, which allow unpaid caregivers to take short breaks from their caregiving responsibilities. This reduces caregiver burnout, ultimately delaying or preventing the need for long-term facility-based care
Screening for Health-Related Social Needs (HRSNs)
The GUIDE Model requires facilities to screen patients for psychosocial needs and connect them to local organizations. This can help address social determinants of health, ensuring more holistic care for residents and reducing the need for emergency interventions.
Health Equity Focus
The GUIDE Model is designed to improve access to high-quality care for underserved communities. Facilities that serve diverse populations benefit from support and resources aimed at reducing disparities in care delivery, including targeted financial and technical assistance for underserved areas.
