Trend in Elder Care
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008
One recent idea is taking hold thorough out America and is called”Green House. ” No it is not about building within the environmental green model. It is about taking the large 100-200 patient Nursing Homes and caring for people in smaller settings. The setting has the look and feel of a private home or apartment. The house unit is built so that seven to ten seniors has his or her own room. The common living space of the house consists of a shared living room, dining room, kitchen facilities and a common room. It almost sounds like aspects of a commune or a kibbutz. Remember the phase “It takes a village to raise a child. ” Why not “It takes a village to care for our elders”.
