The Hastings Village Board has appointed a senior advisory committee to consider senior housing options that will enable seniors to stay in their homes and avoid a nursing home environment. Among the models under review is the Greenhouse project-- a model that pairs 10 to 12 elders with three or 4 staff members in traditional houses embedded in traditional communities.
The Eden Alternative introduces pets, gardening and a more mutual relationship between residents and staff into large institutions.
The Beacon Hill project facilitates staying in one's home by having a clearinghouse of services such as hiring home attendants, shopping help,etc..
Among those working on this initiative is Danielle Goodman, the only candidate for the opening on the Hastings Village Board of Trustees.
I will encourage the Greenburgh Town Board to consider a similar initiative.
