Cypress HomeCare Solutions Partners with Hospice of the Valley for CMS GUIDE Model to Improve Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care
Cypress HomeCare Solutions, (Cypress), a legacy provider of home care services, is excited to announce its partnership with Hospice of the Valley in being awarded the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) GUIDE model, known as Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience program. This collaboration will ensure the delivery of high-quality, patient-centered dementia and Alzheimer’s care under the innovative CMS GUIDE model.
This partnership brings together Cypress, with 30 years of experience serving the community, Hospice of the Valley, with 47 years of expertise, and Home Instead, another highly respected home care provider with 30 years’ experience. The goal is to elevate care for tens of thousands of people living with all types and stages of dementia and to support their caregivers.
“We couldn’t be more excited to be chosen for a project that is laser-focused on improving dementia and Alzheimer’s care in our community,” said Bob Roth, Managing Partner of Cypress HomeCare Solutions. “By combining our knowledge, resources, and compassionate teams, we will deliver the highest quality of care both virtually and in-person to meet the needs of our patients and their families.”
“Respite care may be the most critical need to improve quality of life for both people living with dementia and for their families, said Gillian Hamilton, MD, Medical Director for Supportive Care for Dementia, and the GUIDE program for Hospice of the Valley. “We are thrilled to be able to provide this vital support with Cypress HomeCare and Home Instead as wonderful partners in this innovative program.”
“At Home Instead, we are deeply committed to enhancing the quality of life for families impacted by dementia and Alzheimer’s,” said Debbie Gross, Owner of Home Instead Northwest Phoenix. “With our extensive network of Home Instead offices across the Phoenix metro area, being part of this collaborative effort allows us to extend our reach and offer critical support to those who need it most. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of our patients and their caregivers by providing the compassionate care and resources they deserve.”
The CMS GUIDE model is a voluntary nationwide initiative supporting individuals living with dementia and their caregivers. Nearly 200,000 older adults in Arizona are living with dementia, and over 257,000 Arizonans are providing care to loved ones experiencing cognitive changes.
The GUIDE model focuses on interdisciplinary, ongoing care and support for those living with dementia.
This partnership reflects Cypress’ commitment to addressing the growing need for quality care in the community. As the healthcare landscape evolves, Cypress HomeCare Solutions and Hospice of the Valley are dedicated to navigating these challenges together.
A special thank you goes out to the teams at Cypress and Hospice of the Valley for their dedication and collaborative efforts in working together over the past 30 years. Their combined expertise will make a significant difference in the lives of those they serve.
