Right at Home Cleveland East has partnered with PocketRN, a leader in virtual nursing care, to transform dementia care for seniors. Together, we are piloting a groundbreaking approach that empowers seniors with dementia to live safer, longer, and more independent lives at home. This collaboration introduces a new dementia care model inspired by the GUIDE Model, creating a foundation for a significant shift in senior care.
“We are incredibly excited to partner with PocketRN on this game-changing initiative,” said Shalom Plotkin, owner of Right at Home Cleveland East. “This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to enhance the quality of life for seniors and their families. By combining our in-home care expertise with PocketRN’s cutting-edge virtual nursing care, we are creating a new standard for dementia care that empowers families and improves outcomes.”
A Game-Changer in Dementia Care
The GUIDE Model, developed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), pairs dementia patients with dedicated virtual nurses. These nurses provide continuous care, education, coaching, emotional support, and monitoring – available 24/7. Eligible Medicare beneficiaries can access these services at no cost, with a $0 copay.
This model empowers families and patients by offering virtual nursing support throughout the dementia care journey. It reduces hospital visits and the need for nursing home stays, while enhancing care quality at home.
Why This Partnership Matters
The collaboration between Right at Home Cleveland East and PocketRN is a chance to make a lasting impact on dementia patients and their families. Right at Home complements PocketRN’s virtual services by providing in-home care and safety assessments. This ensures that seniors receive both professional nursing support and the hands-on help they need to live safely at home.
Right at Home’s caregivers will assist with tasks such as bathing, grooming, meal preparation, mobility support, medication reminders and transportation. They will also perform safety assessments to ensure the home environment is safe for seniors with dementia. This holistic care approach combines virtual nursing with in-home care, allowing seniors to remain at home longer with dignity and independence.
RESPITE Care for Families
Caring for a loved one with dementia can be overwhelming. The GUIDE Model includes respite services, offering family caregivers a much-needed break. Right at Home will provide respite care, including personal care, household tasks, and emotional support, reducing caregiver stress and allowing them time to recharge.
The Impact: Better Care, Fewer Hospitalizations, Lower Costs
The GUIDE Model is expected to deliver significant benefits, including:
• Empowered caregivers: With 24/7 virtual nursing support, family members gain confidence in managing dementia care.
• Lower health care costs: By reducing hospital visits and preventing unnecessary nursing home stays, the model lowers Medicare and Medicaid expenditures.
• Improved quality of life: Seniors can stay in their homes longer, with continuous support and greater control over their lives.
Looking Ahead
The partnership between Right at Home and PocketRN is transforming dementia care into something more accessible, compassionate, and effective. “This innovative care model will change how we care for our seniors,” said Plotkin. “It will improve outcomes and help families provide better care for their loved ones.”
