Las Vegas, NV – Visiting Angels in Las Vegas is proud to announce that it has been officially named as a vetted respite care provider for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) GUIDE Model. Visiting Angels is partnering with Cognitive Care Services, YA Partners USA LLC, one of four Nevada companies authorized by CMS (Medicare) to administrate the GUIDE Model.  GUIDE stands for Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience and its intention is to improve the quality of life for individuals who live with dementia and their family caregivers with support services. The GUIDE initiative was officially launched by CMS in 2023 as part of a nationwide effort to expand dementia care resources, reduce caregiver stress and burnout, and improve overall health outcomes for patients and families.

As part of this GUIDE program, eligible Medicare beneficiaries and their caregivers in Las Vegas can access no-cost respite care from Visiting Angels caregivers. The program provides an annual allowance of $2,563 toward in-home respite care, which equates to 19 four-hour visits. While the GUIDE model offers a range of services to support families affected by dementia, Visiting Angels’ role in the program is specifically to provide Medicare-funded respite care.

“Visiting Angels is honored to be part of a program that brings real relief to family caregivers,” said Michael Di Asio, Visiting Angels Las Vegas Director. “It will give them a well-earned break, and a chance to prioritize their well-being so that they can continue caring for their loved ones at home”.
