“Being a volunteer trainer for Eden At Home has affected me more than any training or teaching I’ve ever done. When I trained for Eden At Home, I found that the Eden concepts embodied what I and my family instinctively tried to do for my mother. That’s why the concepts resonate so deeply with me.” Judy Hoelzeman, Eden at Home Volunteer Trainer “I have worked in the medical field for over 10 years and was able to take care of my father’s medical and physical needs. However, I didn’t know I was neglecting him emotionally and mentally until I took an Eden at Home workshop. Eden at Home helped me give my father his independence back.” Noria Day, Care Partner “I remember a time when my father told me he was giving up, that he was ready to die. He became mostly catatonic, and my mother was prone to breaking down in tears because she felt so helpless. I also let the stress get to me, and I fell into depression myself. The techniques I learned from Eden at Home and the way my thinking changed really helped all of us. My father has become more responsive, and I no longer exclude my mother from the tasks of caring for my father. We don’t say goodbye now without sharing a long hug and him telling me ‘thank you’ and ‘I love you’ when he can find the words. As a trainer, maybe I can positively impact the lives of others and help them recover as my family has.” Robert Loyd, Participating Care Partner & EAH Volunteer Trainer “Eden at Home has shed light on my dealings with my father and grandmother. I was only thinking of what I needed to do for them, rather than how they were feeling. I never really understood how to deal with dementia until I took this class." Tammy Hampton, Care Partner “I recommend Eden at Home workshops to any and everyone -- caregiver or not. EAH gives you a better attitude towards others and yourself. We are all in this together!” Brenda Clark, Care Partner “Like other Eden programs, the training is largely participatory, and it is beautifully done.” Virginia Vollmer, Eden at Home Volunteer Trainer “Several participants said how these workshops helped open new lines of communication and reaffirm their family’s choice to keep their loved one at home.” Susan Jones Eden at Home Coordinator AARP Arkansas |
