NavistaCare

The organization integrates RN Navigators and Advanced Practice providers directly into skilled nursing facility care teams, taking a comprehensive, outcome-driven, and value-oriented approach to person-centered care. NavistaCare operates through three core pillars: collaboration with long-term care facilities, clinical support via decision-making tools and tele-mentoring, and education through best-practice programs. For nursing professionals, NavistaCare offers specialized roles including RN Navigators who are extensively trained in a person-centered, proactive, strength-based approach. RN Navigators collect and analyze metrics for quality improvement, provide education to facility clinical staff, facilitate advance care planning, monitor residents for clinical changes, coordinate interdisciplinary communication, perform risk assessments, and serve as experts in supportive care. The Advanced Practice Team includes APRNs and PAs who manage comprehensive medical needs of PALTC patients independently while collaborating with nursing facility leadership and staff. Working at NavistaCare involves a unique embedded model where nurses and advanced practitioners are integrated into partner facilities rather than working in a single owned facility. The organization's focus on reducing preventable hospitalizations, improving quality outcomes, and implementing specialized dementia care and behavioral health programs through the Well-Being Model creates a distinctive practice environment centered on long-term care transformation.
