AnnotationFounded in America in 1991, the Eden Alternative offers an approach to delivering care that prioritises residents' wishes over routines, gives staff and residents the permission to take more decisions without the approval from managers, and generally de-institutionalises the care environment. In this article, care staff from homes using the Eden approach tell the author what it means to them, while UK co-ordinator, June Burgess explains more about the approach. (RH).
