A radically simple alternative to traditional long term care facilities
As our nation's population ages, most seniors prefer to remain at home and in their communities. Sometimes, staying at home is not an option and families must look for care in assisted living or nursing home facilities. In 2001, a visionary pediatrician named Bill Thomas visited the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to discuss a concept designed to abandon the cold, institutional feel of many long term care facilities  In subsequent years, with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the concept evolved into THE GREEN HOUSE® Project: small homes that return control, dignity, and a sense of well-being to elders, while providing high-quality, personalized care in an elder’s home community.
