Indiana care center expanding neighborhood model

Goshen Greencroft senior living center adding second 'Main Street'


Greencroft Goshen senior living center is building a second "Main Street," adding a new kind of healthcare service to the Goshen (Ind.) area with a “neighborhood” model, according to an article on the Stacey Page website.

The idea behind the new design is to create a stronger sense of home for residents with more choices and more opportunities to build relationships among residents and staff, according to Sandra Yoder, senior vice president of healthcare services at Greencroft Goshen.

"There will be staff members assigned to each neighborhood who will give quality care while building ongoing relationships with our residents, just like a family would deliver care in their own homes,” Yoder said in the article.

The neighborhood concept consists of a two story addition with each floor forming its own “neighborhood.” Neighborhoods will be comprised of two households containing 16 private rooms in each, with bathrooms; a common living room; a dining area and kitchen. The households will have their own front entrance and safe outdoor area. A total of 64 new rooms will be built.

The “Main Street” portion will include a café/coffee shop, library, beauty-barber shop, gift shop, exercise area and chapel.
