Hot off the press – another four Eden principles achieved!

We’re delighted to announce that HBH was awarded another four Eden principles on June 1st.

The Eden Alternative is a culture change that encourages and enables care facilities to move away from being an institution and instead become more of a human habitat, where people can be at home, and live and grow in wellbeing. Eden is based around 10 principles and facilities on the journey are awarded principles after an audit by the Eden Australia and New Zealand organisation. This year we were awarded Principles 5, 6, 7 and 8. “This is a great achievement by everyone: staff, residents, volunteers and families,” said HBH CEO, Bonnie Robinson. ”Eden is a real team effort.” One of the tenets of Eden is that the journey never ends: there are always ways to grow and develop. So after a little rest, the team will be planning where to go next with the Eden philosophy.
