Through our GUIDE Program, Connecticut Hospice provides ongoing support for both patients with dementia and those who care for them. 

Our approach combines practical guidance, personalized care planning, and coordinated services to help families navigate daily challenges with greater confidence and ease.

We treat patients and their families as a single unit of care, addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual needs with compassion, respect, and dignity.

Our GUIDE Program helps families manage daily life while promoting independence and well-being through personalized guidance and compassionate care. This includes:

• Greater independence: Allowing patients to remain safely in their homes and communities for longer

• Expert guidance: Personalized care plans that adapt as needs change, with regular check-ins from our expert team

• Caregiver support: Respite care, as well as education, coaching, and resources to build your confidence and reduce stress

• • Coordinated care: Help with coordinating medical care between physicians and specialists for better outcomes

• Local connections: Assistance in connecting with resources for transportation and other services

24/7 support: Access to our care team around the clock, with after-hours phone support for urgent questions

You and your loved one may qualify for the GUIDE Program if they:

• Have a dementia diagnosis at any stage
• Are enrolled in Medicare Parts A & B (not Medicare Advantage)
• Live in the community (not in long-term care)
• Reside within New Haven, Fairfield, or Middlesex counties

Qualifying patients can access comprehensive GUIDE support at no cost. Before enrolling, families should speak with their primary care physician or neurologist to determine whether GUIDE is the right fit.

The Connecticut Hospice GUIDE Program is here to walk with you and your loved one through every step of the dementia care journey. We provide the expertise, compassion, and support you need to navigate this time with confidence and peace of mind.
