NIC Talks 2015 | Dr. Bill Thomas | Green House Project & Eden Alternative

Описание: In his NIC Talk at the 2015 National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care (NIC) Fall Conference, Dr. Bill Thomas, author and founder of the Green House Project and Eden Alternative, discusses the meaning of social capital in the construction of a community. Growing up, Thomas’ family cherished their elders, and the moments surrounded by loving relatives, no matter their age. Thomas emphasizes the value of that feeling, and applies it to the current seniors housing and care market. Through his Green House Project, he focuses on helping companies and individuals convert or build residential homes that can provide high levels of care for individuals who do not wish to be a in a nursing home setting. And the Eden Alternative focuses on partnering with nursing homes to help them change their culture, environment and approach to care. Future elders will embrace the newly emerging community models that give them a sense of home, because, as he says, “It’s not about the real estate, but the ‘feel’ estate.”
