How a Family-Like Setting Enhances Daily Life

At Green House® Cottages of Southern Hills, we believe that long-term care should feel like home—not a facility. One of the key ways we create this home-like atmosphere is through a family-like setting, where residents, caregivers, and families are part of a close-knit, supportive community. This environment enhances daily life in countless ways, from emotional well-being to social engagement and personal comfort.

Unlike traditional long-term care centers, each Green House® Cottage is intentionally small, housing only a handful of residents. This smaller scale allows caregivers to spend more time with each individual, building strong, personal relationships that go beyond routine care. Residents are known for who they are—their preferences, routines, and personalities—rather than just their care needs.

In a family-like setting, care is delivered in a way that is natural, consistent, and responsive. Caregivers work closely with residents daily, anticipating needs and offering support while promoting independence. Daily routines, meals, and activities are guided by residents’ choices, ensuring that everyone has a say in how they spend their day.

A smaller, home-like environment encourages interaction and connection. Residents share meals, participate in group activities, and enjoy everyday moments together, creating a sense of belonging. These social bonds are essential for emotional well-being, reducing feelings of isolation and fostering a supportive community atmosphere.

When residents feel like part of a family, they experience greater comfort, security, and happiness. Familiar faces, consistent caregivers, and shared routines help reduce anxiety and promote confidence. Residents know they are cared for by people who truly understand and value them.

At Green House® Cottages of Southern Hills, family-like living extends to every aspect of daily life. From shared meals to meaningful activities and caring relationships, residents enjoy a quality of life that feels personal, warm, and welcoming. This approach helps residents thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally.

The family-like setting at Green House® Cottages of Southern Hills isn’t just a design choice—it’s a philosophy. By creating a small, connected, and caring environment, we enhance daily life, foster meaningful relationships, and ensure that every resident feels at home.
