Learning from Household Models Around the World

This December, we're taking a look back at some of the top episodes from 2024, with a special focus on the speakers and ideas that took center stage at our annual conference in Grand Rapids, Mich. last month. Please enjoy this encore presentation of our interview with Martin Rix. While the Green House model is the most widely implemented small-home nursing care concept in the U.S., it's not alone — innovators around the world have developed person-directed, human-scale communities where elders of all abilities can thrive. Belong, a non-profit provider organization, has brought its own household model — the Belong Village — to towns across the United Kingdom. CEO Martin Rix joins the podcast to discuss Belong's empowering suite of services, its membership in the Household Model International Consortiumalongside The Green House Project and Australia's HammondCare, and the lessons we can learn from forward-thinking eldercare leaders across borders.
