What Is Green House?
In process and structure, THE GREEN HOUSE model provides a natural environment that promotes a meaningful experience with elderhood and the later stages of life. THE GREEN HOUSE model is a de-institutionalization effort that restores individuals to a home in the community with the full range of personal care and clinical services expected in high-quality nursing homes. The small scale of home, the varied functions of the staff, and the flattened hierarchy allow more opportunities to know an elders identify, understand, and meet their needs which results in meaningful primary relationships. Porter Hills' Green House homes embrace this new model while being fully licensed nursing homes.
