The Eden Alternative Registered Home Assessment is a tool to evaluate the Eden Alternative Journey. Since the Eden philosophy compares culture change to the needs of a garden, the levels of achievement are as follows:
Levels of Achievement Score
Warming the Soil 40-80
Planting the Seed 81-152
Tending the Garden 153-204
Harvesting the Crop 205-265
Master Gardener 266

A follow-up Eden Assessment was completed January 2009 with Wharton Nursing Home scoring 108 and Fletcher Assisted Living scoring 142.
