Action Pact Household Model

Action Pact

“A consulting-and-building model that broke nursing homes into real households.”

Action Pact (Steve Shields and others) spread the Household Model: small groups, a kitchen, consistent staff — cousin to Green House, born in existing buildings.

Culture change you could retrofit, not only new-build.
