"Dementia Care at Home: Medicare GUIDE Program & Caregiver Relief" - Tracy Weiss - Right at Home

Caring for a loved one with memory loss can feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting — but you don’t have to navigate it alone. In this episode of Sounds of Health, Dave sits down with Tracy Weiss, owner of Right at Home Middle Connecticut, for a powerful conversation about dementia care, caregiver burnout, and the brand‑new Medicare GUIDE Program that is finally providing real support for families at home. Tracy breaks down how the GUIDE Program works, who qualifies, and why this is the first time Medicare has ever paid for non‑medical home care in this way. She also shares practical insights on navigating memory decline, accessing respite care, and knowing when to ask for help before a crisis hits. Whether you’re a family caregiver, a healthcare professional, or someone preparing for the future, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and resources you may not even know exist.
