Cedar Creek is proud to follow the Eden Alternative, a human-centered philosophy for assisted living. The Cedar Creek owners and management understands it's all about the relationships. Cedar Creek is a Human Habitat where life revolves around close and continuing contact with nature, children and animals. We are located in the heart of Crystal River, just minutes away from many local attractions and activities and adjacent to a beautiful city park. Across the street is King's Bay on the beautiful Crystal River, renowned for the nation's largest concentration of manatees, the rare and wonderful sea mammals.
The Eden Alternative is a philosophy and set of principles that has the potential to remake the experience of aging and disability. The core concept of The Eden Alternative is simple: we must teach ourselves to see the assisted living environment as havens for human beings rather than facilities for the frail and elderly. In doing so, we apply what Mother Nature has taught us about the benefits of vibrant, vigorous habitats.
Designed to combat the usual three plagues often experienced by many elders of loneliness, helplessness, and boredom, Cedar Creek creates a "human habitat" within a facility that includes resident animals, the infusion of children into residents' lives, an abundance of plants and gardens, a transformation of managerial style and, importantly, the involvement of the local community.
Cedar Creek is a certified Eden Alternative residence. Our staff realizes that each resident's needs and preferences are personal and unique. Likewise, the programs of assistance and enrichment are individualized for each person. This individual choice is at the heart of the "Eden Philosophy".
