GUIDE (Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience)
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 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.
Consumer Direct Care Network New Mexico is your trusted partner in navigating GUIDE and self-directed home care.

How It Works
Getting started with GUIDE is simple:
- Makipag-ugnayan sa Amin – Call, text or email to let us know you’re interested in the GUIDE program.
- Check Guide Eligibility – To qualify, an individual must be enrolled in Medicare A and B.
- Care Conversation – Our team will talk with you about your needs and complete an assessment.
- Medicare Approval – Approval typically takes 2–3 weeks.
How to Check Eligibility Using Your Medicare Card
Checking eligibility for the GUIDE program starts with your Medicare card. This card includes the information needed to verify coverage.
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.
