Proposed federal legislation could transform nursing home care nationwide. The IMPROVE Nursing Homes Act (H.R. 8677) would fund the development of small-home communities with private rooms, outdoor access, and elder-directed care—closely aligned with the Green House model being built at Vernon Homes.

As the federal government commits to increasing private rooms and phasing out multi-bed wards, the Green House Project model gains national momentum. Vernon Homes is proud to lead Vermont’s first Green House community, creating real homes where elders thrive in comfort, dignity, and connection.
