For those institutions, the DVGEC has an agreement with Gerontologic Nursing Consultation Service (GNCS), and can offer reduced consulting rates to a limited number of facilities on a first-come, first-served basis. GNCS has a network of over 120 nurse consultants and associates, and over ten years of experience working with long-term care facilities. Rebecca
