Owner Alan Mongin are Certified Eden at Home Associates. The Eden philosophy focuses on improving quality of life for elders and their care partners by seeking to eliminate the three plagues of “loneliness, helplessness, and boredom.” Addressing more than just the physical needs of our client benefits the care partners, as well as the care recipient. Bringing this philosophy deep into the culture of the organization is foundational in all we do as owners. The company environment we foster has led many of our caregivers to express that we are different, and the best place they have ever worked.
Alan brings decades of experience as both a CPA and a techy. With Alan’s experience, we are able to leverage leading edge systems to run our business and meet the ever-changing needs of our clients.
