Since 1994…
We’ve been committed to helping elders take their lives back by:- Reframing how we see aging
- Reimagining care as we know it
- Eliminating loneliness, helplessness, and boredom
- Revolutionizing how we support people living with changing abilities
- Delivering transformative education and consultation
To improve the well-being of Elders and their care partners by transforming the communities in which they live and work.
Then.
Founded by award-winning geriatrician Dr. Bill Thomas and his partner Jude Thomas, The Eden Alternative® began as a grant-funded project in a single nursing home.
Now.
Today, we are a global, 501c3 non-profit organization that impacts hundreds of thousands of people across 22 countries and transforms caring relationships throughout all care settings and services.
We get results.
