THE VISION

A New Vision, Transforming Elder Living is a $2.1 million capital campaign that includes:

• Site development and construction of two Green House homes on the new Willow Ridge campus across from Maple Crest Senior Living Village.
• Renovating a portion of Mennonite Memorial Home to provide short-term rehabilitation rooms in a private and comfortable environment.

A Green House is a skilled nursing care home where ten elders enjoy private bedrooms and shared community space. Click here to learn more about Green House homes.  Elders who transitioned from traditional nursing care to Green House living have shown improvement in overall well-being.  Greater social interaction, increased mobility, lessened depression, and increased appetite are a few of the improvements replicated again and again.  Marked by individual choice in an engaging lifestyle, Green House living provides many opportunities to experience life at home.  In the Green House, each elder has more freedom to choose meals, schedules, and activities that enhance purposeful living.  Click here to watch an exciting video exploring 4 open Green House homes in operation.

A residential rehabilitation unit with private rooms is a need that has been strongly expressed in the Bluffton community.  We are responding by making plans to renovate a portion of the 1972 Mennonite Memorial Home (MMH) building to provide this service.  This will take place after the Green House homes are opened.
