The Eden Alternative - It Can Be Different

The Eden Alternative Philosophy of Care is guided by a set of Ten

Principles. This month we will explore Principle #3.

The Eden Alternative Principle #3

Loving companionship is the antidote to loneliness. Elders deserve easy access to

human and animal companionship.

You may have heard someone you love say they are lonely even though they are sitting in a dining room

with 30-40 people. Having true companionship and being connected is about more than being surrounded

by people who are friendly towards you. It is about being in meaningful, and sometimes deep,

relationships with others. People are more open when they have built consistent, caring relationships with

those around them. It is through relationships that we gain trust in one another. When we trust we are at

our best and commit to helping one another through good and bad times. When caring relationships are

nurtured, people are willing to speak and listen so that needs are met. A safe environment is created

where elders are willing to speak up and share their ideas and knowledge.

Companionship stretches further than the doors of the homes and organization. Volunteers, friends, and

families can be a resource to spread the message of person directed care and a more positive Elderhood

out into the larger community. Reaching out into the community, fostering new relationships not only

help the Elders find the companionship they need but also provides a reservoir of ideas that can stimulate

ongoing growth.

Companionship can be accomplished by simple measures such as interacting with the same children on

a regular basis; having animals as permanent residents at the home; having permanent care partners on

each neighbourhood; learning the Elders' stories; care partners developing meaningful relationships with

Elders and other Care partners.

Being deeply known matters. Companionship breeds engagement.
