As I stopped to admire a cat that was sharing a lunch with his owner, we started chatting about our pets. The conversation was short, but I will never forget her looking at me seriously and saying 'thank you.' She said, 'so often people just ignore us, but the people at Providence make this extra effort to talk to us and recognize we are still human beings.”
Eden Philosophy
The Eden Alternative™ is our guiding philosophy for residential care homes.
Overview
The Eden approach is consistent with our Mission and Values. This philosophy guides us on how we can help elders in residential care homes continue to live meaningful lives, even when they become too frail to live independently. The aim is to help eliminate loneliness, helplessness and boredom often experienced by elders when living in residential care homes. Read more about our Eden Philosophy here.
