I came walking into the living room, and there was a resident asleep on the couch, one arm draped over the side, her fingers resting on the head of our daily visitor Max, a gentle golden mutt, who was also happily snoozing away. Moreover, the Eden Alternative home replaces programmed activities with natural activities of daily life. Today, certification assures that the residents, owners, administrators, families and staff are committed to the Eden Alternative. The administrator and other staff members are trained as Eden Associates, and receive ongoing advice. The Eden community supports every effort by forming regional coalitions, and stays in close contact through discussion groups on the Eden web site.
Young volunteers bring smiles.
