Green House® Living

Kentucky’s First Green House® Community!

The Homeplace at Midway is proud to be Kentucky’s first and only Green House®  community built in partnership with The Green House® Project, offering the best in forward-thinking eldercare.

Elements of Green House® Living

The Green House model is based on three fundamental core values:

Meaningful Life

Intertwining autonomy and control with purposeful living we are able to encourage elders to live life to the fullest. Control can be rhythms of the day such as waking, sleeping, meals and alone time. While Purposeful Living are opportunities for engagement both planned and spontaneous. 

Empowered Staff

One fundamental belief is that care teams possess vital information about elders that only a close-relationship can foster. The model ensures elders and their care teams have a pivotal role in deciding how care is provided.

Real Home

Challenging previous beliefs the model emphasizes community spaces that are characterised by “warm, smart and green” elements. Incorporating nature, family style dining, and spaces that look and feel like home. 

Christian Care Communities has embraced the Best Friends™ Approach across its residential and adult day programs, ensuring that people living with cognitive loss receive care grounded in dignity and genuine human connection. Through this philosophy, Christian Care Communities creates environments where each person is known, valued, and supported in ways that honor their strengths and life story.

Best Friends™ Volunteer

25 years ago, I stumbled upon a small, local volunteer program for people living with dementia. Over the years, I’ve been humbled by what I’ve learned from those individuals suffering from the disease. Their humor, wisdom, strength, bravery & compassion have helped to make me a better person.
It is an honor, joy & privilege to be allowed to work with this community
