Brooks recognizes the importance of providing highly-specialized memory care services. We modeled the green house residences after the green house project, a nationally recognized best practice model using the latest evidence-based research. This model is a de-institutionalization effort designed to mimic a private home setting. A communal environment is encouraged by having a universal worker, as well as a smaller number of staff trainedin multiple operational functions. It also reduces anxiety, preserves dignity and enhances quality for memory care residents. In 2013, brooks opened the first green houses in florida. Operated as assisted living with the extended congregate care license, the green house residences offer elders the comforts of home and a meaningful life, while respecting individual preferences and honoring choices.
