Premier Comprehensive Dementia Care in Collier County, FL
No Cost for Medicare Beneficiaries
Both the Dementia Care Management and personal care/respite services are provided at no cost for Medicare beneficiaries and their caregivers.
Eligibility Criteria
- Beneficiaries must be enrolled in Fee-for-Service Medicare (Part A and B, not a Medicare Advantage plan, PACE, or hospice).
- Beneficiaries must have dementia, be it previously diagnosed or suspected.
- Medicare recognizes that many people with dementia have never been formally diagnosed.
- Beneficiaries may enroll in the program with or without a caregiver. Caregivers are defined in GUIDE as unpaid individuals, such as family members or friends, who provide care or assistance to someone with dementia. Caregivers do not need to live near the eligible GUIDE beneficiary.
