This week, Valley Senior Living proudly hosted a three-day Eden Associate training, welcoming 28 care partners (27 employees and 1 resident) who are now newly certified Eden Associates.
The Eden Alternative philosophy focuses on creating care communities where life revolves around close and continuing relationships, meaningful engagement, and a true sense of home. Becoming an Eden Associate means embracing a person-directed approach to care, one that combats loneliness, helplessness, and boredom by honoring choice, independence, and purpose.
We are proud of our 28 new Eden Associates and grateful for their dedication to our care communities and relationships with residents and each other.
