Loneliness, along with helplessness and boredom, are singled out in the Eden Alternative philosophy as the "three plagues" most detrimental to the health and well-being of elders in long-term care.
The Eden Alternative, a culture-change long-term care program, has announced the acquisition of Lifespan Network's Wellspring Program.
The American Society of Consultant Pharmacists' 2011 annual meeting and exhibition will take place Wednesday through next Friday at the Phoenix Convention Center. Kicking off the event will be a keynote presentation by Bill Thomas, M.D., founder of the Eden Alternative® and the Green House Project®. On Friday, renowned researcher Howard Friedman, Ph.D., will present "Findings from the Longevity Project: Discoveries for Health and Long Life from an Eight-Decade Study." Numerous educational sessions, exhibits and networking opportunities also will take place, as top senior care medication professionals gather to learn from one another.
WellAWARE Systems recently announced a partnership with The Eden Alternative. The Eden Alternative will be incorporating WellAWARE's technology into its educational programs. The result will be insightful wellness data, such as sleep quality, bathroom visits, and activity levels, according to both organizations. "Partnering with a forward-thinking organization like The Eden Alternative strengthens our movement to improve the safety and wellness of elders," said Jeff Noce, CEO of WellAWARE Systems.
