High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Dr. Bill Thomas (born October 13, 1959) is an international authority on geriatric medicine and eldercare from upstate New York. He is the founder of the Eden Alternative, a philosophy and program that de-institutionalized nursing homes in all 50 states and worldwide over the past 20 years. A self-described "Nursing Home Abolitionist," he is also creator of the Green House (Nursing Home), a radically new approach to long term care where nursing homes are torn down and replaced with small, home-like environments where people can live a full and interactive life. In 2005, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation announced a five year $10 million grant that will result in the creation of Green House projects in all fifty states. As a professor at The Erickson School at UMBC UMBC, Thomas led development of the nation\'s first emergency department designed for older adults.
