The Green House Effect: A Growing Revolution in Elder Care

What if access to nature were seen as essential, not optional, in eldercare? In this episode, Susan Ryan of The Green House Project explores how integrating outdoor space and the rhythms of the natural world into small-home care models is transforming life for residents and staff alike. From gardens that spark memory to front porches that foster connection, the Green House approach goes far beyond traditional design. With a focus on small homes, empowered staff teams, and person-directed living, this approach offers more than just better outcomes - it reignites purpose and joy for both residents and carers. For care providers seeking a meaningful, sustainable shift, this is essential listening.
