The Eden at Home Series applies the power of the Eden Alternative’s ten principles to improving quality of life for Elder(s) living at home and their care partners.  By our definition, care partners include family, friends, neighbors, volunteers, home health professionals, and the Elder herself.  Our goal is help foster more creative, supportive, and collaborative care partner teams.

We offer 2 ½ day Trainer Certification Workshops in both versions of our curriculum that empower Certified Eden at Home Trainers to offer our Care Partner Workshops in their communities.

 If you are a Certified EAH Trainer or organization replicating either version of the Eden at Home Series, click here for resources necessary to support your replication process.  You will need the special passcode you received at your Trainer Certification Workshop.

Eden at Home:  Creating Quality of Life for Care Partners Livingbabiesres with Dementia… a customized version of Eden at Home developed through funding from the Alzheimers Foundation of America's (AFA) first annual Brodsky Grant.  EAH was inspired to create this version of its curriculum because roughly 7 out of 10 people living with Alzheimer’s disease are living at home and receiving 75% of their care from informal care partners.

Also designed to support the experience of the informal care partner team, this version empowers communities to appreciate and accept the unique gifts our Elders living with dementia have to offer us.  It combines the strength of the Eden philosophy with exploration of the groundbreaking person-centered work of Thomas Kitwood.
