The Green House Project is redefining what it means to age with dignity. Partnering with Vernon Homes, this innovative model replaces institutional nursing care with small, home-like settings that empower residents, support caregivers, and create real communities rooted in respect, comfort, and connection.

Outdated regulations and funding models keep traditional nursing homes locked in an institutional past. To create real homes that honor dignity and autonomy, policymakers must update rules to encourage small-home development, reward innovation, and expand home-based care options. The Green House Project model offers a proven path forward — replacing impersonal facilities with warm, empowering communities where elders truly thrive.
