It’s time to get the winter clothing out!! We would ask families to go through their loved one’s closets to remove summer clothes thus making room for the winter clothes. Sorting thru the
clothes will keep them in better shape and help with over-crowding. Thank you

The Eden Alternative - It Can Be Different
The Eden Alternative Philosophy of Care is guided by a set of Ten Principles.
The Eden Alternative Principle #1
The three plagues of loneliness, helplessness, and boredom account for the bulk
of suffering among our elders.
An elder is defined as someone who is here to teach us by virtue of their life experiences.
Loneliness is the pain we feel when we want companionship but cannot find it; the feeling of
being completely alone even when surrounded by people.
Helplessness is defined as the pain we feel when we only receive care, but never give it. These
imbalances between care giving and receiving is the result of believing that those living in
nursing homes only need our help and have nothing left to give.
Boredom is the pain we feel when our lives lack variety and spontaneity. When we live in a world
where there are no surprises left. Imagine living the rest of your life in a world like that.
These three plagues can kill the human spirit as surely as disease processes can destroy the body.
These plagues are 100% preventable and 100% curable.
Take the ten minute challenge and take on one of these plagues today for someone you
love and care about! Together we can all make the difference!!
