Haley Harris brings a unique blend of expertise and empathy to her work in a Texas skilled nursing facility. She understands that true care extends beyond medical charts and diagnoses; it’s about connecting with her patients as individuals with rich histories, unique personalities, and diverse life experiences. At MedElite and Infinite, we are proud to support providers like Haley who exemplify the very best of our profession by prioritizing compassionate, individualized care.
“Some of these residents have lived incredible lives,” she shares, her voice filled with admiration. “They deserve the same quality of care as anyone else, and that’s what I strive to provide every day.”
Supporting Emotional and Social Well-Being
Haley’s dedication to creating a positive and engaging environment for her residents extends beyond traditional methods. She brings her dog to work each day, adding a unique element of joy and connection to the facility.
“The residents really enjoy that,” she shares. “So that’s another way I can connect with them. And, it’s just personal, you know, you really connect with them on an individual level.”
This simple act speaks volumes about Haley’s commitment to providing holistic care that addresses not only her patients’ physical needs but also their emotional and social well-being.

Her Experience with MedElite and Infinite
“I love this role probably above any other role I’ve had because of the autonomy,” Haley shares, highlighting one of the key aspects she appreciates about working with MedElite. “MedElite and Infinite set out their expectations for you… and they set you free to do it.”
This freedom, coupled with the readily available support from colleagues, empowers Haley to provide truly personalized care. “They do have a nurse practitioner that is above me who I can reach out to with any questions.” she adds.
Haley’s story also reveals MedElite’s genuine commitment to their employees’ well-being. She recounts a time when her son needed a medical procedure, and she was worried about a potential lapse in health insurance coverage. MedElite responded with unwavering support, ensuring her benefits continued without interruption. “My kid had a medical procedure coming up, and I couldn’t have a lack of health insurance during that time,” she explains. “They said, ‘We’ll get your health insurance started on the day that you start. That way you don’t have anything to worry about.’ And they did, and everything was seamless. And my kid was able to have her medical procedure.”
This experience reinforced Haley’s belief that she was part of something special – a company that truly cares about its employees. “It just reminded me that I was working for the right people who genuinely care about you.”
A Shared Commitment to Excellence
We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Haley for sharing her story and for her unwavering dedication to her patients. We at MedElite and Infinite are incredibly proud to have her as part of our team, and we recognize the hundreds of providers across our organization who exemplify this same level of commitment and compassion every day. You bring our mission to life, and we are deeply grateful for your tireless efforts in providing exceptional care to those we serve.

Addressing the Complexities of Mental Health & Psychotropics
A Legacy of Care Integration
The integration of behavioral health into primary care isn’t a new concept; its roots trace back to the 1960s and 70s. However, it gained formal recognition only in the 1990s, driven by a growing understanding of its benefits. In 2017, Medicare formally incorporated these benefits, and in 2023, we proudly launched our comprehensive BHI Program, designed to optimize the mental and behavioral health of your residents.
Comprehensive Clinical Service
Our BHI Program is a multi-faceted approach to addressing the complex needs of residents with mental health diagnoses and/or psychotropic medication use. We leverage expert chart reviews, personalized care plans, and ongoing staff support to ensure optimal resident well-being, mitigate medication-related risks, and achieve regulatory compliance.
Key Program Features
Comprehensive Chart Review & Assessment: We conduct in-depth reviews of resident medical records, identifying care gaps, medication-related risks, and opportunities for clinical optimization.
Proactive DOH Survey Preparedness: We ensure your facility is survey-ready through thorough documentation and care practice reviews.
Personalized Care Plans & Interventions: We develop individualized care plans based on resident-specific needs, incorporating evidence-based interventions and pharmacogenomic considerations.
Clinical Decision Support: Our team provides expert consultation and guidance to your staff on complex behavioral health issues, medication management, and best practices.
Data-Driven Quality Improvement: We deliver interactive monthly reports with actionable insights into resident outcomes, HEDIS quality measures, and facility-wide performance.
Common Diagnoses & Eligibility
Our BHI program caters to a range of diagnoses, including depression, anxiety disorders, BPSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and PTSD. Medicare beneficiaries with mental, behavioral, psychiatric conditions, or substance use concerns are eligible.
Our Goal to Drive Innovation
The BHI Program is more than a clinical service; it’s a commitment to revolutionizing the way we approach mental and behavioral health in long-term care settings. Together, let’s create a brighter future for your residents.
The MEDELITE Team recently gathered in Florida to train and celebrate the positive impact we’re making on the lives of thousands of residents nationwide.
We pride ourselves on attracting passionate individuals who want to make a meaningful impact on skilled nursing and long-term care. Our Clinical Excellence Team embodies this purpose perfectly.
As primary points of contact for our facility partners, they act as dedicated advocates for both the facilities and residents in their care.
Thank you to everyone who participated and made the event a success – your dedication to improving resident outcomes is truly inspiring!
