(This is the second in a two-part series examining Green House homes as a potential solution to the long-term care crisis. The first part, which examined how Green House homes kept COVID-19 cases and deaths low, is available here.)
To hear John Ponthie tell it, you have to visit a Green House Project nursing home to truly know what they’re like.
“This doesn t look like a nursing home. This doesn t smell like a nursing home. This doesn t feel like a nursing home,” he said. “This looks like a big home a 7,500-square-foot home where these 12 elders live this rich life together, as rich as it can be given their functional decline.”

Print article Lawrence Ferlinghetti, an acclaimed poet and longtime proprietor of City Lights, the San Francisco bookstore and avant-garde publishing house that catapulted the Beat Generation to fame and helped establish the city as a center of literary and cultural revolution, died Feb. 22 at his home in San Francisco. He was 101. The cause was interstitial lung disease, said his son, Lorenzo. Intensely private and fiercely political, Ferlinghetti became a household name in the 1950s when he stood trial on obscenity charges for publishing Allen Ginsberg’s hallucinatory anti-establishment manifesto “Howl.”
