Welcome to the Eden Alternative

The Eden Alternative is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to improving the experience of aging and disability around the world. It is a powerful tool for improving the quality of life and for recapturing a meaningful work life.

The Eden Alternative shows us how the opportunity to give meaningful care to other living things, animals and plants, and the variety and spontaneity that mark an enlivened environment can succeed where pills and therapies fail. It’s better to live in a garden…

Our Mission: Improving the lives of the Elderly and their Carers by transforming the communities in which they live and work

Our Vision: The elimination of Loneliness, Helplessness and Boredom

Our Motto: It can be different
