Accepting patients
Our Mission
We Believe Care Should Feel Like Home
Ecklund Medicals was founded by Margaret Ecklund, a registered nurse who spent years watching patients leave hospitals only to struggle alone at home. She believed the healthcare system had a gap — and she set out to fill it with something better.
What started as a team of three nurses has grown into a practice of 60+ licensed caregivers — nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and personal care aides — all united by the same founding principle.
We don't just deliver care. We build relationships. We learn the names of grandchildren, the routines that matter, the small things that make a house a home. That knowledge shapes every care plan we write.
Every patient deserves to age with dignity in the place they call home. That's not just our mission — it's why we come to work every day.— Margaret Ecklund, RN, Founder & Director of Care
Today, Ecklund Medicals serves patients across five counties. We accept Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans. Our 24/7 on-call line means families are never left without support — day or night.
What We Stand For
The Values That Guide Our Care
These aren't aspirational statements — they're the standards we hold ourselves to in every patient interaction, every care plan, every visit.
Dignity First
Every patient deserves to feel respected and seen. We design every interaction around preserving the independence and self-worth of the people in our care.
Clinical Excellence
Our caregivers are licensed, insured, and continuously trained. Good intentions are not enough — we hold ourselves to the highest clinical standards.
Family Partnership
We treat families as partners, not bystanders. Open communication, honest updates, and genuine collaboration are built into every care plan.
