I want a non-clinical environment that will promote independence and support me as I need. I don't want a one size fits all service. Everything else would be able to fit in once my needs were accommodated. #eldercarechat

A6. 85% of those living in @GreenHouse_Proj have some form of dementia. That reality, the changing #demographics and #projections for #Alzheimers , we sought to do more to equip care teams with the skills and knowledge to support elders living with dementia. #ElderCareChat
When I care or teach people about care I always ask them how they want their parents to be cared for and apply that to the situation. It is remarkably emotive and effective. #ElderCareChat

A5. Meals are prepared in the individual kitchen of a @GreenHouse_Proj . The open kitchen with built in safety features allow access for #elders to be involved in meal preparation. All of the features of the open kitchen are residential…like a #REALHOME. #ElderCareChat

A5: Advances in technology continue to provide additional care options. I think we are going to see more blended interactions with caregivers, specifically an increase in on-demand care and increased use of telehealth. #ElderCareChat

A5. How will we leverage #HighTech in a #HighTouch Culture? Technology must deepen our ability to build relationships and live meaningful lives. #ElderCareChat

A5. A group of informal caregivers responded to @GreenHouse_Proj with 97% overall favorability, 60% said they’d be willing to pay more for this option and 73% said they’d drive farther. This is a model that people want – for their loved ones, and for themselves. #ElderCareChat
This concept does build caring family and extended family from other families who become your own! Love idea @GreenHouse_Proj @advocatemomdad: This makes sense to me, you become more like a family. #eldercarechat
