Sutter’s Fort State Historic Park sits in Midtown Sacramento in an area that has been the homeland of the Nisenan people since time immemorial. From 1839 to 1849, Sutter’s Fort was the economic center of the first permanent European colonial settlement in California’s Central Valley. Its founder was a Swiss immigrant named John Sutter who named his vast Mexican land grant “New Helvetia.” During that time, the Fort catalyzed patterns of change across California. No one felt those changes more acutely than the diverse Native peoples whose lives were transformed by the Fort’s presence. Many different Native people helped build the Fort, and their exploited labor made the Fort’s many industries possible. The discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill in 1848 started the gold rush that ultimately undermined Sutter’s businesses at the Fort and led to an even greater exploitation of Native people across California.

Elder Care Management (ECM) was founded in 2010 by Ginger McMurchie who brought together an experienced team of care managers, gerontologists, and registered nurses, each who had a depth of personal and professional experience working with the elderly and disabled. Throughout her career, Ginger saw the need for a trusted group of advisors where families could go to get answers to tough questions and find resources that were appropriate and trustworthy. Within ECM, she assembled an exceptional team of Care Managers to help families navigate the confusing array of services and options. Because the Elder Care Management team has personal experience caring for their loved ones and seeing firsthand how confusing the choices are, our Care Managers bring a passion for their work that truly brings solace and comfort to those in need.

In 2020, ten years later, Ginger stepped away from the company allowing Jason Wu, owner of ApexCare, to guide Elder Care Management into new opportunities to serve and support the community. Given our growing aging population, Jason is assuming the leadership role at Elder Care Management at a critical time where the need for professional Care Management is more important than ever. Jason is absolutely focused on building upon the high-performing team that has already been assembled. Today, our Care Managers work with a vast network of eldercare professionals, including attorneys, social workers, financial planners, physicians, therapists, and hospice care professionals. Because they have “walked the walk” through their own personal experiences in helping elder loved ones, they have a deep and broad knowledge of local and national resources that can help elders thrive in the midst of challenges.
