Our Story
Decades of Experience Tailoring Solutions For Our Mature Clients
Not-for-profit agency, ACM Care (Autonomous Case Management of St Louis, Inc.) began in 1999 after co-founder and Registered Nurse, Julie Hess, witnessed too many older patients in hospitals without the support of family. With no one to advocate for their care, they were often told by medical professionals that they had no choice but to be admitted to a nursing home. Hess knew other options existed and decided it was time to help.
ACM Care’s services are now provided for mature adults in the St. Louis area. We partner with numerous organizations and providers to deliver quality, customized solutions to address each person’s unique situation.
