Governor Healey visited the site this week! Wonderful to have her support!
"The focal point of Healey’s official visit to the Island on Monday was the development under construction on Edgartown–Vineyard Haven Road, which will include 76 beds to house hospital employees and some skilled nursing home staff. On the same Edgartown site will be the nursing facility Navigator Homes, which is expected to be ready in the coming months with 70 beds for seniors.

Governor Healey visited the site this week! Wonderful to have her support, along with that of State Senator, Julian Cyr and State Rep, Thomas Moakley.
"State Rep. Thomas Moakley, a Falmouth Democrat who represents the Vineyard, highlighted that Navigator Homes will be meeting a growing need for senior services on the Island. According to Healthy Aging Martha’s Vineyard, a third of Islanders are 65 or older. 'The commonwealth cares about older adults being able to grow old in their communities, especially in an isolated community like this,” Moakley said. “Not being forced to move off-Island, away from their homes, away from their families.'”

Gov. Maura Healey visited the Vineyard on Monday to tour a new housing complex for Martha’s Vineyard Hospital employees and check in on the Island’s health care needs.

Great article on workforce housing for Martha's Vineyard Hospital. The housing will have 76 beds: 46 for hospital employees and 30 for Navigator Homes employees. "No employee, the hospital says, will pay more than 30 percent of their income toward rent. The 48-unit apartment building — a project six years in the making — is a critical investment in the hospital’s ability to retain a large enough staff to sustain essential functions."

Progress on the building!

About a mile west of the post office on the Edgartown-Vineyard Haven Road, a new neighborhood is taking shape with a $68 million nursing home at its heart.
