Seniors Housing & Care Journal 109 Empowering Direct Care Workers: Lessons Learned from THE GREEN HOUSE Model The nursing home culture change movement continues to gain support from government, industry, and consumer groups. Many believe it holds promise for improving both the quality of care and the quality of life for people residing in long-term care settings. One of the challenges currently facing the movement is insufficient guidance regarding the specifics of both implementing and sustaining culture change. This article presents findings from a study of THE GREEN HOUSE® model, focusing specifically on the development of empowered direct care staff. Although the study was conducted exclusively in Green House homes, the findings have implications for any long-term care organization interested in empowering staff.
