Eden's “Donation Subject to the Housing-for-Pension Service” model involves applicants donating their houses to Eden. In return, Eden provides regular living expenses and support services, ensuring applicants receive reliable care system backing. Executive Board Director Dr. Sean Wang stated that Eden's housing-for-pension program goes beyond exchanging real estate for financial support. Crucially, it offers comprehensive care and compassion, ensuring dignity and security in the later years of those in need. 

The Fu-Chung Occupational Workshop, a community rehabilitation center established by Songde Branch of Taipei City Hospital, has long assisted people with psycho-social disabilities in reinstating into society through occupational training. During service delivery, it was observed that parents of some service users unable to secure stable employment grapple with the anxiety: “What will happen to him/her when I am gone?” This collaboration aims to transform such anxieties into concrete, proactive solutions through cross-sectoral resource integration.

Eden shares the housing-for-pension services, hoping to offer parents of individuals with disabilities more resource options.

Eden anticipate continuing to collaborate with medical institutions and community organizations to promote the “Donation Subject to the Housing-for-Pension Service” to more individuals in need. This program aims to assist them in planning stable futures, realizing the vision of “aging in place” and “peace of mind through entrustment.” If interested in this program, please download the service brochure or call +886-2-2230-7715 ext. 2004 for consultation.
