Through Eden we recognize that our Elders have much
to offer. We strive to build relationships that nurture each
individual's strengths. We have found it very important to
incorporate opportunities for our Elders to give care as well as receive
it. It is vitally important for anyone to feel useful and needed,
thus giving meaning to life.
Elders help set dining room tables, fold linens,
water plants, care for pets, play the piano for events, read to the
children in the daycare, deliver newsletters and mail, help with
activities, assist others to and from activities, and much more.
