Greenhouse Competition - Lessons Learned is a webinar presentation of the Green House model for senior community and skilled nursing facility design.


The Green House® model brings cultural transformation to skilled nursing care settings. This model restores individuals to a home in the community with power, autonomy and natural rhythms as the basis of daily life. It combines small homes with the full range of personal care and clinical services offered in the traditional nursing home setting.


Founded in the Eden Alternative, this model has three core elements for transformation: environmental redesign, person-directed philosophy of care, and workforce transformation. This session will describe the environmental model and innovative sessions learned. The Green House Charette competition designs will be reviewed and discussed. The new research on workflow and financial outcomes will also be presented. The ultimate goal of the model is to create places where elders want to live and staff want to work within skilled nursing care settings.

  • Review workforce systems that propel change.
