Eden registry. As a way of honoring those who undertake the hard work of transforming their institutions into warm, human habitats, the organization maintains the eden registry. The registry is not an accreditation or in any way an indicator of quality, it is simply a public commitment to strive for the principles and practices of the eden alternative. Eden registered homes, registry members, pay an annual fee and receive a plaque that is displayed in their facilities. They are also acknowledged on the organization's website and publications.
