Green House Homes
The Gold Standard in Person-Directed Living.
Green House homes represent the boldest reimagining of long-term care in the last 50 years. Small in size, big in heart, they were created by The GREEN HOUSE® Project to replace institutional living with something radically better: real homes where real life continues.
Each Green House home typically serves 10 to 12 elders with a consistent, cross-trained self-managed work team that provides support, cooks meals, cleans, and most importantly—builds relationships. It’s not a unit. It’s not a wing. It’s a HOME.
A Model That Works—Even Through Crisis.
The Green House model isn’t just idealistic—it’s proven. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Green House Homes delivered vastly better outcomes:
- Over 60% fewer infections and 70% fewer deaths per 1,000 residents compared to traditional nursing homes
- Infection control was strengthened by private bedrooms and bathrooms, small team staffing, and fewer people entering and exiting the homes
These weren’t lucky breaks. They were the result of intentional design, deeply human relationships, and proven operational practices.
Not Just a Building—A Way of Life.
Green House is more than an architectural concept. It’s a cultural model centered on:
• Real Home
• Meaningful Life
• Empowered Staff
When done right, a Green House Home doesn’t feel like “the best nursing home.” It feels like home. Period.
