Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Garden of Eden different and Eden different as a provider?
I have 17 years of experience with nursing, and working with hospice care. I worked with private clients, I also worked in assisted living, and with managing clients, as well as managing and training other caregivers. With all of my experiences and knowledge I have seen a lot of human beings being treated poorly and lacking proper care. It saddens my heart to see that the result of something as simple as lacking proper care can lead to death, which I truly believe shouldn’t be the case. I have made it my mission to put my all in my work, my experiences led me to do more within my power to make a difference for other human beings. My main goal is to distribute compassion, love, care, and empathy.
