Navigator Homes Take Shape in Edgartown

Published On: March 7th, 2025By Categories: Local News Items, In The News, Massachusetts

There’s already a waiting list for Navigator Homes, which will be the Island’s first care facility to follow the Green House Model of Nursing Home Care.

Developed more than 20 years ago by a Maryland nonprofit and now found in hundreds of locations in the U.S. and Australia, the Green House model focuses on groups of self-contained buildings where patients receive individual skilled nursing care within a communal, home-like setting.

At Navigator Homes in Edgartown, the five buildings surround a central green space, where landscaping plans include walking paths connecting the residences. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is financing the buildings’ construction.
