The Green House Effect


Homes for the Elderly to Thrive
by Jane Brody
NY Times, December 16, 2014

In his book, Being Mortal, Atul Gawande describes Green Houses (resident friendly nursing homes) that are the brain child of Bill and Jude Thomas.

Jame Brody devotes her weekly column on Dec. 16th to a discussion of these innovative nursing homes that are doing no less than reinventing elder care. Their program advocates for changes that can transform the medically dominated culture of care for the elderly. Their homes for the elderly are called Green Houses.

Read Jane Brody’s essay for more information.

See Chapter 5 in Notes from Being Mortal.
