The Eden Alternative UK Register of Homes What is the Eden Alternative UK Register of Homes? The Register is a public commitment to strive for the principles and practices of The Eden Alternative. It is not a part of the regulatory system or any other quality mark. . Residents and their families must still make every effort to ensure that their needs can be met by the organization and work hard to build a relationship with the staff of the home. Please understand that The Eden Alternative has no operational control over any long-term care facilities. Our work is primarily to provide education and support, not monitoring. We feel it is important, however, to honour those who make a commitment to strive for a community that supports the growth of all who live there. Eden Alternative UK maintains the Eden Register. Why do we need an Eden Alternative Register? As a way of honouring those who undertake the hard work of transforming their institutions into warm and loving places to live. We want others to know about these homes that are creating a place where life is worth living and where people want to work. Similarly, organisations and Homes that have made the investment and commitment to the Eden Alternative want to be able to tell the world and to differentiate themselves from others who have not made a similar commitment.
What is the value in the Eden Register?
First and foremost, belonging to the register allows a home to use the
Eden Alternative name and logo in their promotional material. Eden
Alternative is becoming a highly recognisable care philosophy. Google
the term Eden Alternative and you will get nearly one million hits. It
also receives thousands of references in the media each year. World
wide, the Eden Alternative is established in most U.S. states, Canada,
Japan, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, and
Scandinavia. The Eden name is gaining recognition worldwide, not only
among those involved in Aged Care but also among consumers. Eden UK
gets calls and emails from health care professionals who want to
relocate to an Eden organization, family members looking for an Eden
Registered Home for their loved ones and from people looking for a place
to live. We also regularly receive invitations from conference
organisers requesting a presentation on the Eden Alternative care
philosophy. The Eden Alternative name alone carries great value for a
home, which also receives with its registration:
