Creating Homes Where Life is Worth Living http://www.edenalt.org/

The Eden Alternative shows how companionship, the opportunity to give meaningful care to other living things, and the variety and spontaneity that mark an enlivened environment, can succeed where pills and therapies often fail. Places that have adopted the Eden Alternative typically are filled with plants, animals, and are regularly visited by children.

The Eden Alternative is also about changing the culture of long-term care organizations. The departmentalized, task-orientation for the current institutional model has created a culture that is characterized by pessimism, cynicism, and stinginess. By moving away from the top-down bureaucratic approach to management and moving decision making closer to the Elders, Edenizing organizations are helping to support a meaningful life for their Elders.
