Elders are admitted to the Lodge with complex care needs related to aging and dementia. Our staff are receiving training in the Gentle Persuasive Approach (GPA), the P.I.E.C.E.S. model of approach focused on thoughtful assessment and planning to meet individual needs; and EPAIRS the most current perspective on providing a palliative approach to quality care near end of life. The Eden Alternative Broadway Lodge practices the Eden philosophy, addressing the three “plagues” of long-term care: Loneliness, helplessness and boredom. The Eden Alternative promotes ten guiding principles – you will see these posted around the Lodge. Each principle was developed focusing on de-institutionalizing care homes and to encourage a healthy human habitat, a safe community for elders living in long-term facilities. We believe it is crucial to receive input whenever possible and to honour and improve the well-being of all care partners (elders, family, friends and staff members) of Broadway Lodge. Therefore, we aim to provide a home-like, person-directed and non-institutional culture celebrating individual identity, growth, autonomy, security, connectedness, meaning and joy Care practices at the Lodge subscribe to the Eden philosophy, addressing the three “plagues” of long-term care: loneliness, helplessness and boredom. Each principle was inspired to support culture change, encouraging the development of a healthy human habitat – a safe, familiar community for elders living in long-term facilities. We seek to build our care partner relationships. By definition, care partners include residents, their families/friends who support them, staff and volunteers.

Thanks to the work of our Restorative Care Workers (RCWs) under the guidance of the ALP Coordinator (a recreation therapist, fitness specialist) and consulting physiotherapist, we have seen our elders gain strength, confidence and skills. Elders improve their physical strength and balance in order to increase walking and independence, reduce risk of falls and change transfer status when receiving care support. The program is available to all elders with a physician’s referral and consent. Elders are scheduled based on need and time availability.
