[Reblog] Green House Homes News from Maryland
The 27 April blog post at As Our Parents Age
(I’ve come across similar articles in the past year…however.. this is a great article with good informational links)
Green House Homes News from Maryland
Check out some of the specifics of the new Green House elder community in Baltimore.
A Kaiser Health News article, Maryland’s First Green House Project Nursing Home Aids Low-Income Seniors, described a new community on the site of the old Memorial Stadium in Baltimore.
Associated Catholic Charities will run the Green House Residences at Stadium Place.
Am I mistaken or is does the headline contain an oxymoron? Is it possible to have a Green House Project Nursing Home? I think not, given that Dr. Bill Thomas calls himself a nursing home abolitionist. The two concepts most definitely should not appear in the same place!
You can check out other Green House Homes locations using this handy map.

About
This blog presents a sampling of health and medical news and resources for all. Selected articles and resources will hopefully be of general interest but will also encourage further reading through posted references and other links. Currently I am focusing on public health, basic and applied research and very broadly on disease and healthy lifestyle topics.
Several times a month I will post items on international and global health issues. My Peace Corps Liberia experience (1980-81) has formed me as a global citizen in many ways and has challenged me to think of health and other topics in a more holistic manner.
Do you have an informational question in the health/medical area?
Email me at jmflahiff@yahoo.com
I will reply within 48 hours.
This blog is a companion site to my Health and Medical News and Resources Web site with…
- Great places to start (locating health information)
- Links to help from others (as health care providers and support groups)

My professional work experience and education includes over 15 years experience as a medical librarian and a Master’s in Library Science. In my most recent position I enjoyed contributing to our library’s blog, performing in depth literature searches, and collaborating with faculty, staff, students, and the general public.
