The Eden Alternative®
Well-Being Is A Human Right
At Calhoun County Medical Care Facility (CCMCF), we deploy the Eden Alternative®, where well-being is a human right. The Eden Alternative is a culture within our facility that empowers residents to disrupt their feelings of loneliness, helplessness, and boredom. We help our residents take their lives back with strength-based solutions (we help them focus on what they CAN do, not on what they can't), we encourage them to use their "voice", and we ensure they get person-directed care. Our residents need, and deserve, the chance to lead a fulfilling life, not just to pass the time idly.
At CCMCF, we proudly deploy the 7 fundamental aspects of personhood that are the core of the Eden Alternative; Identity, Connections, Security, Autonomy, Meaning, Growth, and Joy!
We are WHOLE HUMAN BEINGS
At CCMCF, we know residents need connection, a sense of purpose, and to have their voices heard and their choices honored. It is also essential that each resident keeps learning and growing, no matter their age or their changing abilities.
We proudly offer meaningful care and life enrichment, as well as the variety and spontaneity of special celebrations and activities to establish an enlivened community. Spontaneity can succeed where pills and therapies fail. We also work hard to create a warm culture that is characterized by optimism, trust, generosity, and teamwork to make a better world for our residents and our adult day care clients each day.
