THE TEN PRINCIPLES OF THE EDEN ALTERNATIVE

1. The Three Plagues of loneliness, helplessness, and boredom account for the bulk of suffering among Elders
   
   
2. Life in an Elder-centered community revolves around close and continuing contact with children, plants, and animals. These relationships provide young and old alike with a pathway to a Life worth living.
   
   
3. Companionship is the antidote to loneliness. An Elder-centered community provides easy access to human and animal companionship.
   
   
4. A healthy Elder-centered community seeks to balance the care that is being given with the care that is being received. Elders need opportunities to give care and caregivers need opportunities to receive care.
   
   
5. Variety and Spontaneity are the antidotes to boredom. The Elder-centered community is rich in opportunities to sample these ancient pleasures.
   
   
6. An Elder-centered community understands that passive entertainment cannot fill a human life.
   
   
7. The Elder-centered community takes medical treatment down from its pedestal and places it into the service of genuine human caring.
   
   
8. Decisions in an Elder-centered community should be made by the Elders or by those as close to the Elders as possible.
   
   
9. An Elder-centered community understands that human growth cannot be separated from human life.
   
   
10. Wise leadership is the lifeblood of any struggle against the "Three Plagues." For it there can be no substitute.
