Extended Congregate Care (ECC)
A change in care requires
extended supportive services
Weinberg Village holds an Extended Congregate Care (ECC) license that models an aging-in-place care plan. This license enables our residents to receive a higher level of care, regardless of mental or physical obstacles that may otherwise disqualify them from residency under a standard or Limited Nursing Services (LNS) license.
Instead of being transferred to a skilled nursing facility, a strange and new setting, we facilitate third party continuing care for residents with declining health in their familiar Weinberg Village home.
This care may include monitoring their health with increased nursing assessments, measurements and recording of basic vital functions and weight, dietary management, administration of medications, rehabilitative services and supervision of residents with dementia and cognitive impairments.

Our staff and our residents become family to one another and when that family suddenly changes, it is an unfamiliar setting with strangers. Being surrounded by their Weinberg Village family creates a better environment to heal, especially after being hospitalized or having a surgical procedure.
