A Whole-Person Approach to Dementia Care with GUIDE
In this episode, Dr. Cheryl Phillips, a nationally recognized expert in geriatrics and health policy, speaks about her lifelong mission to improve elder care. She shares her powerful childhood story of witnessing the lack of dignity in a nursing home, which inspired her to become a geriatrician and systems-level leader. Cheryl explores how new payment models like CMS’s GUIDE program are finally aligning incentives to support a whole-person approach to care, emphasizing that a dementia diagnosis is not just a medical problem, but one that requires a full support system.
