The "Green House©" concept signifies a nurturing environment for the elderly. This 7,000 SF skilled nursing facility is a prototype for the State of California and will help to de-institutionalize skilled nursing facilities in the State. Rather than the typical institutional facility, the "Green House©" concept is based on a family-like residence for 10 people. The floor plan utilizes a great room concept with open kitchen and dining alcoves. Each resident has their own bedroom.The buildings are all wood in an Arts & Crafts-inspired style with a contemporary twist. This is a sustainable project that was awarded LEED Silver Certification Rating.
