Abstract
Many members of our geriatric community face challenges in attending appointments with their healthcare providers. The many barriers to healthcare that these patients face can range from financial to physical ones. Home health visits have become an invaluable resource for these patients. However, home healthcare is an expensive resource that many patients cannot afford. The Green House Project aims to empower elders and patients with barriers to healthcare, who thrive in the home health setting, by building communities where patients are treated with equality and mutual respect regardless of economic status.
