HOW OUR CARE MANAGERS WITH YOU
ECSS care managers work with families in a proactive way to determine problems before they arise. We have a long history of preventing emergency room visits and repeat hospital admissions. We help with ongoing dementia concerns and can make appropriate hospice referrals when necessary.
