Description
Currently under construction, this new “Green House®” facility is the first of its kind to be constructed in Tennessee. It will provide home for 25 residents.

The primary purpose of a Green House® is to serve as a place where elders can receive assistance and support with activities of daily living and clinical care, without the assistance and care becoming the focus of their existence. Elders’ rooms receive high levels of sunlight and are situated around the hearth, an open kitchen and dining area. While adhering to all codes required by regulations, Green House® homes look and feel like a home, and contain few medical signposts. Each elder enjoys a private room or unit with a private bath which they decorate with their own belongings. There is easy access to all areas of the house including the kitchen and laundry, outdoor garden and patio. Safety features are built into the house to minimize injury.
