About Evercare

Twenty years ago, two innovative Minnesota Nurse Practitioners had a vision of the future that would eventually change the model for health care coordination nationwide and internationally. Through their years of care experience, 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, nursing home 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.

The Solution was Evercare.

By assigning a Nurse Practitioner to every Evercare member, these neediest Medicare beneficiaries now had someone on their side – a trusted partner who helped coordinate their care by collaborating with doctors, nursing homes and the families. This personalized, compassionate care is known as the Evercare Care Model and today, Evercare Nurse Practitioners and Care Managers are still at the heart of what we do.

Focusing care back on the individual needs of members, Evercare has applied its pioneering Care Model to not only people in nursing homes, but also to serving people who live independently at home or have special needs, such as those who have chronic illnesses or disabilities. By personalizing our members' care, Evercare has become the health care coordination program of choice for more than 150,000 people in 38 states through Medicare and Medicaid health plans. The Evercare Care Model is also seen in a special program delivered through employers nationwide which provides more than 700,000 working caregivers access to support services.
