Our client has been supporting and coaching caregivers of people living with dementia for over eight years. Our programs empower families through education, emotional support, and one-on-one coaching designed to improve quality of life for both caregivers and care recipients.
We are proud participants in Medicare's GUIDE Program - an eight-year national pilot that provides enhanced services to caregivers of people living with dementia. This innovative model is shaping the future of dementia care in America.
Position Overview
We're hiring a Dementia Program Coordinator to support caregivers through the full enrollment process into the GUIDE program. This role bridges the gap between initial caregiver interest and active participation in the program.
You will coordinate logistics, ensure compliance with Medicare / CMS requirements, and provide warm, empathetic communication to caregivers during a sensitive and often emotional time.
This is a high-touch, high-impact role that combines organization, service, and heart.

Serve as the main point of contact for caregivers once they agree to enroll in the GUIDE program.
Guide caregivers through the entire application and enrollment process.
Coordinate shipment and setup of program tablets and provide mini-training on their use.
Liaise with neurology partners to schedule and confirm formal diagnoses as required by CMS.
Ensure all enrollment steps meet CMS eligibility and documentation standards.
Submit completed caregiver-patient ("dyad") applications for CMS review.
Facilitate smooth handoffs to Surestī's Engagement Specialists and Coaching Teams.
Maintain accurate tracking and reporting in Surestī's software system.
Monitor ongoing adherence to GUIDE requirements post-enrollment.
Identify and resolve bottlenecks to keep each caregiver's process moving smoothly.
Contribute to continuous process improvements and operational refinements.
What Success Looks Like
Caregivers feel supported, informed, and cared for throughout enrollment.
Every application meets CMS compliance standards and is completed efficiently.
No dyad "falls through the cracks."
Communication is proactive, kind, and professional at all times.
You help streamline and improve processes as the GUIDE program grows nationwide.
