Implementation
Implementation of a program which provides animals for residents to enjoy and care for a dog specially trained to live with the geriatric population; aviaries where birds sing and fly freely; ponds filled with fish and fowl; plants, vegetable, rose, and sunflower gardens to be cultivated and cared for by the residents and staff. Edenization brings some of life's pleasures back into the life of the residents who in many cases must give up a great deal of what was once an important part of their daily lives.
