The system fails families when care becomes complex

Healthcare delivers episodes well. It does not reliably manage trajectories across time and settings.

Fast Hospital Discharges

Next steps are unclear and no one owns follow-through after you leave.

Fragmented Providers

Multiple providers who do not coordinate, each assuming someone else is managing.

Reactive Care

Escalating needs managed reactively until a crisis forces rushed decisions.

Caregiver Burnout

Family caregivers become overwhelmed, destabilizing decision quality and family life.

These failures are predictable. They are not rare edge cases. They are the default in complex care.

NECA brings clarity, accountability, and follow-through

We are the independent "quarterback" for your family—coordinating care across settings so the plan actually happens.

Conflict-Free Independence

No commissions, kickbacks, or referral fees. Our recommendations are based solely on your family's needs.

Comprehensive Assessment

We evaluate medical, functional, cognitive, caregiver capacity, and home safety—not just one piece.

The NECA Roadmap

A living document with clear priorities, triggers for escalation, and family role assignments.

Ongoing Coordination

We stay involved to ensure execution—weekly during transitions, monthly during stability.

Think of NECA as your family's “quarterback”

What NECA Is Not

Clear boundaries build trust. We are intentionally independent and advisory-focused.

Not a Home Care Agency

We do not provide hands-on caregiving or staff aides. Our role is planning, coordination, and oversight.

Not a Medical Provider

We do not diagnose conditions or prescribe medications. We work alongside medical providers to help families execute care plans.

Not a Placement Broker

We receive no commissions from facilities. We help families understand options and timing—decisions remain theirs.

Not Legal or Financial Advisors

We coordinate with attorneys and financial professionals but do not provide legal or investment advice.

Conflict-Free Independence

We accept no commissions, kickbacks, or referral fees from home care agencies, facilities, medical providers, or any other vendors. Our recommendations are based solely on client safety, family goals, practical feasibility, and timing.

Common Questions

Hospital case managers are episode-bound and time-limited—their responsibility ends at discharge. NECA provides longitudinal accountability across settings, ensuring plans are executed and families stay aligned over time.
