At The Preserve at Dunedin, our Extended Congregate Care (ECC) license offers residents the confidence to age in place. Whether your needs change gradually or unexpectedly, our compassionate care team provides the flexible support you deserve without the disruption of needing to move to another community.
ECC, or Extended Congregate Care, is designed for residents who need additional medical oversight or personal assistance beyond what traditional assisted living communities provide. With ECC, you can receive the support you need, such as more frequent nursing assessments, monitoring vital signs, managing special diets, and helping with more complex equipment, without moving to another community.
With an ECC License, The Preserve at Dunedin offers residents:
We believe the best care comes from compassionate connections and personalized attention.
We’re proud to be Dunedin’s only assisted living community licensed for Extended Congregate Care, where our focus is on building relationships, not following routines.
Extended Congregate Care (ECC) is a specially-licensed care option that enables an assisted-living community to offer a higher level of support. With ECC, residents at The Preserve at Dunedin can continue to live in a welcoming, residential-style setting, even as their care needs evolve.
Under ECC, residents may benefit from enhanced support that goes beyond standard assisted living. This includes advanced medication oversight, more comprehensive mobility and transfer assistance, help with multiple activities of daily living, incontinence support, and more frequent health monitoring tailored to each individual.
With ECC in place, residents do not need to relocate to a traditional nursing facility when their care needs increase. Instead, they can receive the added support they require while remaining comfortably at The Preserve at Dunedin in the community they know, surrounded by familiar faces and routines.
Residents whose needs exceed what standard assisted living can accommodate, for example, those requiring multiple-daily-care interventions or specialized memory-care support, may qualify for ECC following a personalized assessment and approval by our care team.
