This year is a big one for me and my life’s work. Besides the upcoming publication of my next, and I hope most impactful book, 2013 represents the 10 year anniversary of The Green House Project. As we begin a year-long celebration of this achievement, I am excited and honored to welcome my good friend David Farrell as the new director of The Green House Project.
I’ve known and worked with David in the culture change movement since the 1990s. He is an inspired leader with a long record of innovation and he has personally advanced our understanding of person-directed care.
David has exactly the type of collaborative, team-focused leadership that will help bring The Green House home model of care to every community in America.
This year we are celebrating the success of bringing 146 Green House homes to 22 states across the country. I am excited to be David’s partner in continuing this great work.

I had the privilege of working with Bill Thomas in the mid-to late 90′s at several Eden Alternative facilities in the Utica, New York area. His visions and execution of the project facilitates a better quality of life for the aging adults. He was just beginning the Green House Project, and that too seemed to be a magnificent vision for the future of elder care. I have since moved to Charlotte, NC and have not been able to find a job in Geriatrics, but have been working with Palliative Care patients and recently accepted an Oncology position. I hope that I can use the skills I have learned through Bill to help improve the quality of life to those elders with cancer and other disease associated problems. Bill I thank you for teaching and executing your vision. Congratulations with the success of both projects.

Enjoy telling new surveyors about the Green House Project!
Very exciting, Bill. And only 28 states to go… HOOrah! (not that I’m a Marine, but I know some)
