Nice to meet you, we’re Vesta Healthcare
Vesta Healthcare is a startup with a simple mission: Delivering extraordinary outcomes by unlocking the power of caregivers. We enable people with personal assistance to thrive at home, in their community by assuring their caregivers have the resources, data, and support they need. We achieve this through a combination of analytics, technology, services, and deep healthcare expertise. Vesta Primary Care “VPC” is one of Vesta’s divisions that specializes in primary care.We focus on older adults with long-term home care needs.
Our practice serves patients in need of chronic care management, often home-bound, who benefit from a primary care provider who makes house calls. In Massachusetts, we operate as both home-based primary care and host an in-person medical office in Duxbury. We help these individuals live happier, healthier lives by partnering with their aides and caregivers, as a key part of the care team. We use a combination of in-person and virtual care to provide primary care to our patients. We seek team members who are passionate about caring for older adults and collaborating with their caregivers to provide a team-based approach to care.
Our team members are patient-centered optimists who always focus on doing what’s best for patients and their caregivers. Our team goes the extra mile to ensure tasks related to patient care are complete, timely and thorough. We see ourselves as being here to improve the quality of life for caregivers and care recipients, allowing them to focus on the important things, like time with one another.
