Loneliness, helplessness, and boredom are a serious threat to health and well-being.

In the COVID era, the impact of isolation has never been more profound. For over 25 years, The Eden Alternative has focused its approach to care on eliminating the three plagues of loneliness, helplessness, and boredom for elders and their care partners.

Research reveals a significant correlation between social isolation and serious health effects, including lower immunity, poor sleep, depression, higher levels of inflammation, and a greater risk of heart disease and stroke.

Feel the fire . . .

“We all suffer from burnout at some point in our lives. We start to wonder if our inner flame for what we do has been extinguished. The Eden Alternative makes you feel that fire again! It reminds you why you started in this field. It’s an ongoing process that not only reignites that fire, but supplies the fuel to spread that fire.”
