There’s No Place Like Home! When you
are discharged from the hospital, wouldn’t it be wonderful to return to your own home. Nursing home and assisted living center costs continue to rise.
These costs can drain the family nest egg that took a lifetime to accumulate. Often, at discharge,
a person finds that living at home is no longer a workable option because their conventional home functions
well only
for young, healthy people.But the biggest loss is not the loss of the family nest egg but of individual freedom, of independence.
Lost is the freedom to care for one self. Lost is the satisfaction of knowing you are not underfoot
and assistant-dependent for basic needs. With a Think Green Homes® Life Design home built new or remodeled, you have a home to live in
on your own terms. Plan today to manage your own future: call Think Green Homes. A Lifetime Design home will
provide a home for generations of your family from newborn throughout life and will provide piece of mind for all.
We all would prefer our children and grandchildren live their own lives rather
than being burdened as care-monitors traveling to a nursing home, or 24/7 care-givers, in a conventionally-designed home.
It is so simple to change this situation, especially if you change it ahead, before weeks or months in a dependent mode further
reduce your strength and mobility

Universal design is simply designing to suit the needs of all stages of life. This includes
adults and children, people with disabilities and those who are aging. A “Home Eval” (a Discharge
Plan team member goes to your home and documents how well your home accommodates your present, recovering, condition) is common
for age 60 plus. Conventional homes so seldom meet criteria that doctors order simultaneous
eval of you, by a nursing home, or assisted living/rehab center. Often, only hours before you are ushered
out of the hospital, you find you are not going to your own home to recover. Thereafter, the possibility of never going home
increases as the days and weeks go by.
