The term “small house” has developed as a way to describe the relative size difference between a traditional long-term care facility and a home built to a more residential scale. Typically, there are several “small house” homes situated in a neighborhood. The neighborhood forms a community that is operated as a single site, yet with each home having its own resident-driven character and house rules. A team of care partners provides assistance with activities of daily living, meals, housekeeping, and other services to all of its residents. The small house movement began in nursing home settings and has begun to spread to assisted living communities like Villas at Killearn Lakes. It is often considered to be a subset of a larger philosophy of care known as the “household model.”
Since the goal of this model is to create home in every sense of the word, a neighborhood is an important way to live out that reality. Most of us in bedroom communities like Northeast Tallahassee live in neighborhoods for much of our lives. When we need a little extra help it’s nice to be able to keep living in ways that are familiar to us. Receiving home care services in one’s original home can sometimes breed isolation. While relocation can be difficult when more assistance is needed, moving to another neighborhood that has built-in services to help us age in community can help ease the transition.
