Welcome to Enhanced Care Management (ECM) at Alzheimer’s Los Angeles

A Free Medi-Cal Program for Families Facing Memory Loss

Taking care of someone with memory problems can be hard, but you don’t have to do it alone. With Enhanced Care Management (ECM), a free Medi-Cal program, you’ll get the personalized support you need. ECM helps people living with memory loss stay safe and comfortable at home by working with family/friend caregivers to provide care navigation and support.

What ECM does for you:

  • Provides services and support that fit each family’s needs

  • Helps manage memory loss along with other health problems like diabetes or heart issues

  • Provides assistance finding doctors, making appointments, and arranging rides

  • Follows-up after hospital or emergency room visits

  • Reviews the person’s medicines to make sure they’re safe and working well

  • Provides help applying for in-home care, food benefits, or respite services (break for caregivers)

  • Sets-up classes for learning new skills to help you care for someone living with memory problems or dementia
