What's New at CVACL?
Introducing Medicare's GUIDE Program
Medicare launched the GUIDE program in 2024 to support patients with dementia and their unpaid caregivers as they navigate the challenges of living with dementia. Patients keep their current physicians, and the additional GUIDE personnel provide care in between your physician visits. CVACL and Embrace are your local GUIDE partners and provide integrated social and clinical care to families living with dementia. We provide home telehealth care to help older adults reduce their risks of going to the hospital or the nursing home. Download the info sheet HERE. Reach out to us at (434) 385-9070 x127 for more information!
