- We value person-directed care focusing on each individual’s unique personality and how they wish to live each day.
- We value “Radical Loving Care” where staff members are encouraged to create sacred encounters by meeting human need with loving care.
- We value the Eden Alternative™ Principles that describe the plagues and antidotes of long-term care.
- We value residents, families, and staff as integral team members working together to create a fulfilling and meaningful life for all.
- We value self-led teams that decide among themselves the most appropriate individual and team responses to the needs and desires closest to the residents.
- We value “home” as related to each individual heart’s desire, and strive to enable the choices and quality of life elders enjoyed in their own homes. Each resident is respected as an individual and shares decision making.
- We value community, where members live, work, and socialize; where they are actively engaged and determine for themselves how to give and receive within their friendships, household, neighborhood, city, state, and country.
- We value growth in training (skills) and education (knowledge) as both means and ends. By deeply investing in staff, residents, and family growth, we further community, enhance possibilities of individual fulfillment, and set an implicit standard that guides our behavior as an organization.
