Love From Our Families
My mom moved into her new home a few weeks ago. I was able to visit with her this week while being in Florida and my gosh, I know she is right where she needs to be. Huge shoutout to Jerry, Diana, Paula, Kathy and Apryl. You are real life angels. The energy you bring is above and beyond. To see how you interact with not only my mom, but all the residents, it truly warms my heart. While it is heartbreaking to see my mom battle Alzheimer's, I know she is in the perfect place. She is safe and receiving the care she needs. <3 The place is clean, accommodating and most importantly feels like home. I love that there is a schedule and many activities for the residents to participate in. My mom has loved the painting and coloring

Upon entering this beautiful community, I was deeply impressed by the exceptional level of care and compassion demonstrated by all the caregivers. Every member of the team, from maintenance staff to the executive director, significantly contributes to the residents' quality of life. The interior courtyards offer a safe and beautiful outdoor escape for the residents, while the dining area is both elegant and spacious. GCMC stands out as one of the premier memory care centers I have ever visited.
- Bill & Bonny B
Exceptional dedication. Genuine care 24/7, everyone is doing a great job, from Management to the care team. Jerry and Diana are conducting the business, but you can see them walking the hallway and chatting with the residents, literally knowing everyone. There is an engine who works behind the scenes to have the day and night activity running smoothly. Family feeling, warmth, and genuine care, overall, 5 stars. Residents are never alone, there is always a pair of eyes to watch and hands ready to help as needed, but all is done in a certain way, so our loved ones don’t feel any loss of their independence. Beautifully done. The activities are not just lines on paper, everyone is involved. Food is first class.

Understanding Alzheimer’s: How the GUIDE Program Can Support Your Family in Southwest Florida
June marks Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, a time to shine a light on the millions of individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s disease. We recognize that memory loss doesn’t just impact the individual; it touches every member of the family. That’s why we’re proud to be the only certified provider of the GUIDE program in Estero, Florida, and the only memory care community approved by the federal government in Lee and Collier Counties.
If your family is navigating the challenges of Alzheimer’s, the GUIDE program may offer the relief and support you need, including up to $2,500 per year in assistance.
What Is the GUIDE Program?
GUIDE stands for Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience. It’s a federally supported initiative launched by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide care coordination, support, and resources for people living with dementia and their caregivers.
The GUIDE program is designed to help families manage dementia care at home, reduce caregiver stress, and improve the quality of life for everyone involved. It includes access to a dementia care navigator, ongoing assessments, and resources to help you better understand and manage the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
Only communities that meet rigorous federal standards can participate. Gulf Coast Memory Care is proud to meet those standards and lead the way in bringing GUIDE to Southwest Florida.
Why Gulf Coast Memory Care Is Unique
Families in Estero, Naples, and Fort Myers now have access to a powerful resource that’s unavailable anywhere else in the region. Gulf Coast Memory Care is the only certified GUIDE program provider in Lee and Collier Counties.
This recognition places us in a unique position to support local families with:
Personalized dementia care planning
Navigation of Medicare and Medicaid benefits
Access to federal support funds
Educational resources and training
Community partnerships that expand support beyond our walls
Our team is trained and certified to guide families through the complexities of dementia care with compassion and expertise.
Real Financial Support: Up to $2,500 Per Year
Through the GUIDE program, eligible families may receive up to $2,500 annually in financial assistance. These funds can help cover in-home support services, respite care, or caregiver training. For many families, this can be a vital bridge to reduce burnout and allow their loved one to remain safely at home for as long as possible.
At Gulf Coast Memory Care, we’ll help you understand how to qualify and apply for this benefit. We believe no family should have to face dementia alone, and financial support should never be a barrier to quality care.
Comprehensive Support for Caregivers
Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s is demanding, both physically and emotionally. GUIDE offers practical relief through:
A dedicated care navigator to assist with care coordination
Access to 24/7 support and emergency planning
Caregiver training sessions, our team can come to your home or host training onsite
Tools to recognize changes in behavior or health before they become crises
Education and preparation are essential. That’s why we’ve built strategic partnerships with local organizations like the Dubin Center, which specializes in dementia resources and education in Southwest Florida.
Technology That Enhances Safety and Peace of Mind
As part of our commitment to advanced memory care, we offer Amba, an innovative monitoring system with discreet sensors that track sleep patterns, movement, and wellness data. Unlike cameras or microphones, these passive sensors maintain privacy while giving our care team the insights needed to respond proactively to health changes.
Families can rest easier knowing their loved one is safe, monitored, and supported 24/7.
Community Collaboration
Gulf Coast Memory Care is more than just a place to live; we are a hub for Alzheimer’s education and community outreach. Through our work with the Dubin Center and other local health organizations, we bring caregiver workshops, dementia education, and community training sessions to Estero and the surrounding areas.
