Eden Alternative - Changing the Culture of Care
Eden Alternative News
The 6th Eden Alternative UK Conference was held in Birmingham on the 7th of September. 70+ delegates listened to a wide variety of presentations from across the care spectrum and from the public, not for profit and independent sectors. As always we are incredibly grateful to the speakers for their time and efforts in preparing their presentations and then delivering them on the day. Without their contribution we wouldn’t have a conference. From our perspective everything went like a dream; nearly everyone who was booked to attend turned up and there were no IT problems. The feedback from the conference evaluation was almost exclusively positive – the words ‘interesting’, ‘excellent’ and ‘inspiring’ appearing in many of the comments.
What more could you ask for.

Last year we reported on the performance of Homes and Services on the Eden Alternative UK Register as shown by their CQC ratings. Unsurprisingly the results this year are even better. The first figures are for Eden Registered Homes, those in brackets are the National Averages as at March 2016 (CQC Annual Report).
Of the 34 Homes and Services on the Register 31 have been rated.
Good or Outstanding 87% (67%)
Requires Improvement 13% (29%)
Inadequate 0% ( 4%)
Congratulations everyone who makes these beautiful results possible; the staff, residents and relatives of the services. It's a pleasure and and honour working with you.

And on the following day we were at Croxley House which became the 15th Greensleeves Care home to be included on the Eden Alternative UK Register of Homes. Both homes are in large, old that have experienced a variety of different roles over the years from private homes to hospitals. They are extensively modified buildings with all the idiosyncrasies that entails. Both homes were filled with cheerful staff and residents and a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
