What is the Eden Alternative™?
The core concept of The Eden Alternative is strikingly simple. We must teach ourselves to see places where Elders live as habitats for human beings rather than facilities for the frail and elderly. We must learn what Mother Nature has to teach us about vibrant, vigorous living. The Eden Alternative™ is a different model of providing residential aged care that seeks to modify the care environment for elders. The Eden Alternative™ has identified the three plagues; Loneliness, Helplessness and Boredom as the main causes of suffering for elders in an aged care environment. The Eden Alternative™ seeks to eliminate these three plagues by changing the physical and social environment of an aged care facility. Find out more about the Eden Alternative.
