Advisory board approves fourth year of county four‑year plan, adds Medicare dementia pilot 'Guide'
Summary
The Davis County Senior Services Advisory Board unanimously approved the fourth year of its four‑year plan and instructed staff to add the Guide Medicare dementia-care pilot to the plan; the board stressed continued funding searches for SNAP assistance and other priorities.
The Davis County Senior Services Advisory Board voted to approve the fourth year of its four‑year plan and to include the Guide Medicare dementia‑care pilot in the plan.
Director (speaker 8) presented the addition, saying the Guide pilot is already underway nationally and ‘‘we're planning to move forward with a contract to offer the Guide program’’ and that becoming a Medicare provider could take about three months. Committee member (speaker 7) moved the motion and speaker 5 seconded; Chair (speaker 1) called for the vote and announced, "Motion carries." The motion instructed staff to add Guide to the plan and proceed with necessary steps to pursue provider approval.
Board members discussed timing and eligibility limits: the Director cautioned the pilot currently applies only to traditional Medicare and not Medicare Advantage plans, which will affect enrollment strategy. The board directed staff to include Guide in the plan now and continue reporting back as the county explores contracting and certification. The next procedural step is to record the updated plan in county materials and monitor the provider‑approval timeline.
