The Green House Project is an American national non-profit organization dedicated to creating alternative living environments to traditional nursing home care facilities.
The project creates "caring homes for meaningful lives" for elders[1] where residents have private rooms and baths, can move freely through the home, build deep knowing relationships with each other more and even participate in preparing their own meals. It is based on a philosophy seeking to reverse the "enforced dependency" of life in a traditional nursing home by creating small intentional communities of 10 to 12 elders designed to foster late-life development and growth.[2]
Residents of Green House Project homes have shown "increased reports of mobility and social interaction, and fewer reports of weight loss and depression" compared with those living in traditional nursing home facilities.[3]
