In 2022, upon completion of the Poydras Home Reimagined expansion, Poydras Home will become the first organization to build certified Green House Project within the state of Louisiana. The lessons learned of safely weathering a pandemic in a continuing care retirement community have also served to focus our attention on the advantages of the new physical layout of our Green House homes at Poydras Home. This close-knit, smaller scale approach to residential living increases infection control by greatly reducing the number of staff members who support each home, while also reducing the number of residents who live in close proximity to one another. With reduced rotation of staff in and out of each setting, Green House Project care model homes across the nation have had significantly lower COVID-19 infection during the pandemic. Poydras Home enthusiastically embraces this new layer of safety for our residents as we continue to prioritize their health and happiness above all else.
