Caring for a loved one with dementia can be overwhelming. Many caregivers dedicate themselves fully to their loved one’s well-being, often at the expense of their own health, finances, and peace of mind. Thankfully, caregivers may now be eligible for up to $2,500 in respite care hours through the Medicare Continuum Guide Program.
What Is the Medicare Continuum Guide Program?
The Medicare Continuum Guide Program is designed to provide financial relief for family caregivers by covering respite care costs. This funding helps caregivers take much-needed breaks while ensuring their loved ones continue receiving high-quality care at home.
Who Qualifies for the Program?
To be eligible, the care recipient must:
- Have straight Medicare (traditional Medicare, not Medicare Advantage).
- Have an official dementia diagnosis.
- Meet the program’s specific criteria for assistance.
How to Apply for the $2,500 Respite Care Benefit
Applying for the Medicare Continuum Guide Program is simple:
- Visit GUIDEdementiaprogram.com to submit an application.
- Expect a follow-up call within 24 hours to confirm eligibility.
- If approved, caregivers can access up to $2,500 in respite care hours, easing financial strain and providing well-deserved relief.
For additional assistance, caregivers can call 314-686-4465.
