Embracing the core values in the disruptive concept for nursing home design, the “Green House” model, Navigator Homes of Martha’s Vineyard, opening this fall, will house 70 people in 5 homes with 14 residents each. Each resident has a private room with bathroom. Residents will share a living room, kitchen, dining rooms, and other enriching and recreational spaces, both inside and outside. The mission of Navigator Homes of Martha’s Vineyard is to enable older adults and persons with disabilities to live a meaningful life with dignity while receiving superior skilled nursing care.
