The decision to seek extended care for a loved one
and selecting the right environment is often difficult.
The Eden Alternative provides a lively, home-like environment
filled with gardens, pets, and children. This way of life offers
diversity, spontaneity, and companionship.
The Eden Alternative is a long-term care philosophy
developed in 1991 by William H. Thomas, MD. Caregiving is based
on the philosophy that residents need the same stimulation, camaraderie,
and empowerment as they had when they cared for themselves.
The Eden Alternative seeks to care for the
whole person, not just medical necessities. Through this experience,
residents continue to express themselves and grow emotionally
as well as spiritually.
