Long-Term Care with the Eden Alternative® Philosophy
Kalkaska Memorial’s Eden Center, our long-term care community, seeks to care for the whole human being, not just their medical needs.
Our Eden Center is built around the Eden Alternative® concept, which is an international program designed to eliminate loneliness, helplessness, and boredom while promoting growth and enjoyment of life. This concept has helped us build a community at the Eden Center where life centers around close and continuing contact with people, plants, animals, and children.
