Stop Waiting for Help. How NY, NJ, and CT Families Can Access the CMS GUIDE Model Today.
If you are caring for a loved one with dementia in New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut, you already know the hardest truth: the healthcare system often feels like it’s designed to confuse you, not help you.
You are likely navigating appointments, managing medications, and dealing with behavioral changes—all while facing your own burnout. You’ve heard about the new CMS GUIDE Model (Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience), which offers 24/7 support, a dedicated Care Navigator, and even paid respite care.
But you might be asking: "How do I actually get into the program? Do I need to wait for my doctor to set it up? Is it mountains of paperwork?"
At JVS Health, we believe accessing support shouldn't be another burden. You don't need a doctor’s referral. You can the process right now.
Here is the simplest way for New York caregivers to self-refer to this groundbreaking program.
We Removed the Friction
The traditional route for getting dementia support often involves phone tag with doctor's offices, waiting for faxes, and repeating your story ten times.
We changed that. We built a direct digital front door for families. If your loved one has a dementia diagnosis and is covered by Medicare, you can start the enrollment process from your phone or computer in just a few minutes.
The 2-Step Self-Referral Process
We have streamlined everything into a single, secure online portal.
Step 1: Click the Enrollment Link. Go directly to our secure patient portal here: JVS Health Patient Enrollment
Step 2: Complete the Necessary Forms. Once there, you will be guided to fill out the necessary forms:
The Consent Form: This gives us permission to work with you and your loved one under the Medicare program.
Additional Questionnaires: These help us understand your current situation, the stage of the disease, and your immediate needs.
That’s it. You’ve done your part.
What Happens Next?
Once you hit submit, the JVS Health team receives your information immediately.
You don’t need to call us. We will call you.
Our intake team will review your demographic information and reach out to schedule the initial comprehensive assessment. We will handle coordinating with Medicare to ensure eligibility.
Don't Wait Until the Crisis Point
The GUIDE Model was designed to prevent caregiver burnout, not just treat it once it happens. If you are in New York and struggling with the demands of dementia care, take ten minutes today to fill out the forms.
Support is ready. You just need to let us know you need it.
