Elevate Eldercare

Nursing homes rarely garner positive attention, particularly from the media, and especially since the onset of COVID-19. It is within this context that The Green House Project has launched Elevate Eldercare, a podcast that seeks to speak up and out about the issues that have enabled a traditional system to continue and prevented society from going as far as we need to go. Our goal in this podcast is to offer hope on the horizon as we collectively strategize to Elevate Eldercare.

Susan Ryan, senior director of The Green House Project, will sit down with guests each Wednesday for enlightening, provocative, and sometimes uncomfortable conversations with thought leaders who offer diverse perspectives as they explore the opportunities and challenges to actualizing a vision for dignified eldercare through the lens of the Green House model of long-term care.

In the first Friday Recap of Elevate Eldercare, Mary and Marla break down Susan Ryan's interview with Carol Silver Elliott, president and CEO of The Jewish Home Family in Rockleigh, N.J. As they examine Carol's experience leading her team through the COVID crisis, Marla and Mary focus on several things: the crucible moment that COVID created, caring for staff and ensuring they had PPE, and the emphasis on communicating almost constantly with staff, elders, and families.

This week's call to action: Follow The Jewish Home Family on Facebook, where you can find celebration videos of residents who have survived the coronavirus and excerpts from staff PPE "fashion shows."
