Who We Are
More than twenty years ago, two innovative Minnesota Nurse Practitioners had an idea to improve the lives of countless nursing home residents.
Over the course of their careers, they noticed that many people who entered nursing homes had difficulty seeing their primary care physicians regularly, making it harder for families to coordinate their care. As a result, these residents were often in and out of hospitals and emergency rooms at great physical, emotional and financial cost to them and their families – and increased costs to the health care system.
This pair of Nurse Practitioners realized that things didn't have to work that way. If every nursing home resident had dedicated access to a Nurse Practitioner, even the neediest Medicare beneficiaries would have someone on their side – a trusted partner to coordinate their care by collaborating with doctors, nursing homes and the families. This personalized, compassionate care is known as the Evercare Care Model – it's the heart of what we do.
