Washington Trust donates $25,000 to Saint Elizabeth Green House project

Washington Trust has donated $25,000 to Saint Elizabeth Community in support of its capital campaign for the building of Green House Homes at Saint Elizabeth Home in East Greenwich. Saint Elizabeth Community president and CEO Steven Horowitz, Washington Trust Chairman and CEO Joseph MarcAurele and Washington Trust president and COO Edward Handy made the announcement jointly at a recent check presentation outside the new Green House Homes. The donation represents a multi-year commitment to the non-profit, Saint Elizabeth Community on behalf of the Washington Trust Charitable Foundation.

“Building the Green House Homes at Saint Elizabeth Home, a $12.5 million project, has been made possible thanks to the incredible partnership Saint Elizabeth Community has with Washington Trust,” said Horowitz. “Our confidence in Washington Trust has allowed us to build an exceptional new model of nursing home, offering Rhode Island seniors another choice in care - innovation supported. Thank you, Washington Trust.”

Partnering with The Green House Project, the Green House Homes at Saint Elizabeth Home provide an innovative new model of nursing home care. Each home has 12 private bedrooms with private bathrooms and showers. The homes are built to provide space for both privacy and community, with bedrooms encircling the shared space, which includes a dining room, kitchen and hearth room. These homes have all the amenities that make them real homes, complimented by the features of a state-of-the-art nursing home.
