Are you a caregiver feeling overwhelmed? We understand the unique challenges of dementia care. Get ready for a new level of support! Our innovative GUIDE program is set to begin on July 1st, offering comprehensive assistance designed specifically for dementia caregivers.
The GUIDE model (Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience ) is a program from the Centers of Medicare & Medicaid Services which offers exclusive benefits for caregivers and patients living with dementia who have traditional Medicare, at no cost to the patient. GUIDE participants will have access to a GUIDE Navigator to develop a care plan, schedule monthly home visits, and coordinate local resources.
Our Program Director and Care Navigator, Brittany Jenkins MSW, has been working diligently to create a program that truly makes a difference in the lives of dementia caregivers. Brittany will have a direct impact on caregivers by offering one-on-one support, connecting to resources, navigating the healthcare system.
Brittany is a compassionate and experienced social worker specializing in gerontology. She holds a Bachelor of Social Work from West Texas A&M University and a Master of Social Work from Grand Canyon University. Brittany has provided essential support to older adults and their families across skilled nursing facilities, hospice care, and palliative care settings. With a deep understanding of the unique physical, emotional, and social needs of aging populations, she is committed to delivering person-centered care that honors dignity, promotes comfort, and enhances quality of life.
According to Brittany, “”It is my mission to walk alongside older adults with empathy and respect—honoring their stories, advocating for their dignity, and ensuring they are seen, heard, and cared for with the compassion they deserve.”
We are confident that caregivers will benefit from Brittany’s expertise and dedication to the mission of the program. For more information, see details at www.arcyhc.com/guide or call (469) 496-5960.
My name is Jimmie Stapleton. I am the founder and CEO of Arcy Healthcare. Arcy Healthcare includes Arcy Hospice, Arcy Supportive Care, Arcy Home Health and Arcy at Home.
Arcy Hospice was opened in 2007 to provide care and support for individuals and families facing a life limiting illness. It was established after my wife Ellen, who had been diagnosed with breast cancer, had completed her chemo and radiation therapies. At that time, things were looking positive, and we wanted to do something for our community that had been so supportive of our family during her treatments. Unfortunately, the cancer returned a few years later, and she subsequently passed away under our care in 2010.
In the years that followed, I began to see the need to provide the same level of excellent care to patients across the continuum of care. Therefore, we have added a home health division (Arcy Home Health), a palliative care division (Arcy Supportive Care), and a home care division, (Arcy at Home). With the addition of these divisions, we can meet most of the post-acute care needs for you and your family in your home.
I started Arcy Hospice with my wife as my motivation to provide exceptional care and support in the patient’s home, where they are surrounded by family and where they feel most comfortable. I’m proud to say that our staff provides some of the best in home care in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.
Please let us know if we can enrich the quality of life for you or a loved one.
Sincerely,
Jimmie Stapleton – Founder and CEO
