Green Houses aim to change the face of nursing home care
STATE JOURNAL INVESTIGATION | Part 2 of 2
Viola Marshall, 100, is greeted by her son, Jack Hartman, at a Green House nursing home at Lutheran Homes of Oshkosh. Kindergartners visited the school to color with residents the same day. Green Houses, touted as a revolution in long-term care, are more “home-like” and “resident-centered” than traditional nursing homes, backers say.
Residents and staff share meals at a long table beside an open kitchen, with breakfast made to order.
Only 10 resident rooms can be found, with heated floors and individual temperature controls, just steps from a common area with an electric fireplace and reclining chairs.
