Description:
In this episode of Comfort Conversations, host Emma Vogel welcomes licensed clinical social worker Bree Owens, co-founder of Always Supportive Care, to unpack the GUIDE model—an innovative Medicare pilot program supporting people living with dementia and their care partners. Bree explains how GUIDE delivers wraparound support, including care navigation, dementia-informed medical oversight, and the nation’s first-ever Medicare-covered respite care. The two discuss the emotional toll caregiving takes on families, how GUIDE provides relief and clarity during difficult transitions, and why support systems like these are reshaping the future of dementia care in Southwest Colorado and beyond.
