Letter From the Executive Director

Welcome to Exceptional Care & Training Center,

At Exceptional Care & Training Center providing exceptional care is our passion and has been since 1979. Our professional, caring staff treats each resident individually and are dedicated to providing an environment that promotes health, independence and maximum quality of life.

I joined ECTC in 1994 and have served as the Executive Director since 1998. Over the years, I have been able to witness the loving care with which our staff interacts with our residents. At ECTC, the long tenure of our caregivers provide stable support for our residents and assure the continuity of care that each resident needs. We know it takes everyone working together to make certain that our residents receive the best care possible.

At ECTC our mission is to provide assistance and service to persons with severe and profound intellectually disabilities. We know that our work is successful by the collective effort of our employees, community volunteers and supporters.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about ECTC and what we do!

Sincerely,

Melissa Francque

Executive Director
