One of the things I&#8217;ve started looking into is the greening of the long-term care industry: Is it happening?  If so, where? What forms is it taking?  Green building? Renewable energy use?  Green sourcing of products? You get the picture.  I&#8217;ve come across at least one example: the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sfdph.org\/LHHReplace\/\">Laguna Honda Hospital Replacement Program<\/a> in San Francisco.  I&#8217;m at work at another article right now, so I thought I might throw this question out there while I&#8217;m still at the searching stage: are you aware of any long-term care facilities or providers that using green practices, products or materials in their day-to-day work?  Nursing homes, assisted living centers, rehabilitation hospitals, social service providers &#8212; this is a broad industry.  If you know of anything, I&#8217;d be grateful if you shared it in the comments.  I&#8217;ll be happy to look into these projects, and write about some of them over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Categories: <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/jmcstras\/longtermcare\" rel=\"tag\">longtermcare<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/jmcstras\/nursinghome\" rel=\"tag\">nursinghome<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/jmcstras\/assistedliving\" rel=\"tag\">assistedliving<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/jmcstras\/eldercare\" rel=\"tag\">eldercare<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/jmcstras\/disabilitycare\" rel=\"tag\">disabilitycare<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/jmcstras\/green\" rel=\"tag\">green<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/jmcstras\/sustainable\" rel=\"tag\">sustainable<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/jmcstras\/renewable\" rel=\"tag\">renewable<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can&#8217;t remember if I mentioned back in January that my new employer is focused on the long-term care industry: elder care, care for people with disabilities, and the issues,&nbsp;[ &hellip; ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":56,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Green Long-Term Care?
