Green House model creator, Dr. Bill Thomas,”an international authority on geriatric medicine and eldercare”, will be honored by The Long Term Care Coalition in a fundraiser to benefit the coalition. The theme of this year’s fundraiser, “improving the lives of nursing home residents and changing the way we think about the elderly”, is a perfect backdrop to Dr. Thomas’ message that it can be different!
The Long Term Care Community Coalition (LTCCC) is a group devoted to improving care for the elderly and disabled. Their work centers around work to ensure that long term care consumers, who are often very vulnerable, are cared for safely and treated with dignity.
The Green House model, created to be a place where Dr. Thomas’ Eden Alternative Principles can thrive, is a living testement to the goals of the coalition. By simultaneously transforming the philosophy, environment and organizational structures of traditional long term care, real power is shifted to the elder and those working closest to them.
