Case Study 2: Home & Hospice Care of Rhode Island

Means, R.S.

Home Hospice Care of Rhode Island is the state's largest and most comprehensive provider of hospice and palliative care, and is the third oldest hospice in the country. The first, major sustainable design commitment Home Hospice made was to convert an abandoned building, instead of building new. Home Hospice has also committed to obtaining at least 35% of their electricity from renewable sources, and using only green cleaning methods and products to reduce chemicals in the environment. Besides the project's sustainable design features, the goal of the project was to provide a facility in which Home Hospice Care fulfill their mission to provide compassionate, professional, state of the art physical, emotional care for all people facing life‐threatening illness.
