Description: Visionary elder care innovator William H. Thomas explores the development of this Eden Alternative. Thomas and his wife developed this philosophy which aims to deinstitutionalize long-care facilities by alleviating the "three plagues" of boredom, helplessness, and loneliness. He is also known for the Green House Project, Emergency Services for Older Adults, and MINKA Communities. Open Hearts Open Minds: The Journey of a Lifetime. By William H. Thomas, M.D. Professional Edition, 1998. The first half of the book explores Dr. Thomas + his wife's journey as geriatric specialists + creation of the Eden Alternative. The second part provides specific guidelines on the Eden Alternative's ten principles and philosophies and how to begin to implement in your own organization and facility. This book will be of interest to individuals providing care to older adults and to those adults themselves who may wish to seek out facilities such as these. Dr. Thomas is still active and has a wikipedia page. Thank you for looking and please ask if you have any questions. Be sure to check out my other great listings.
