Stamford-Area Seniors Can Now Enjoy Free Daytime Care

STAMFORD, Conn. - Oct. 3, 2025 - PRLog -- Thanks to a groundbreaking Medicare initiative, seniors living with dementia now qualify for benefits that help cover the cost of adult daytime care. Designed to improve quality of life, the GUIDE (Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience) Model, offered by Connecticut Hospice's Stand By Me program, features a full range of valuable services, including care coordination, caregiver education, and an annual respite benefit for up to 25 free days at adult day centers like Evergreen Daytime Senior Care. With specially trained staff and an 8-hour program, Evergreen provides stimulating activities like brain games, art classes, gardening, live music and delicious meals. Round trip transportation is also available.

"We're excited to partner with Evergreen to provide high-quality adult day services to families enrolled in the GUIDE Model program," explained Mark Olynciw, GUIDE Program Manager at Connecticut Hospice. "Having trusted partners like Evergreen ensures our families have excellent options for their respite benefits."
