I do not write reviews of anything but I can't say enough about the intentionality and care of the staff and leadership at Evergreen. My mom was a resident for more than two years and I couldn't have found a better place for her. Their approach to the "residents" living in their "neighborhoods" (not "patients" in "rooms" on "wings") is unmatched as is the care of their skilled nursing and hospice teams. My mom had as much autonomy as they could give her through to the end. Their incredible emotional care for our family through the loss of our mother was also unexpected and, I'm sure, is rare. The staff here do an incredible job and truly care. Highly recommend to anyone looking for long-term care for a loved one.

My mother recently moved into Evergreen, and we have been so impressed with the care and attention she's received. Her quality of life has greatly improved since moving in. It's rare to find a community where the staff truly cares about the residents, and Evergreen is one of those special places. Thank you to the entire team for everything you do for my mom and all of the residents.

My mother moved into Evergreen several months ago. She LOVES it. I am a pastor who has visited people in dozens of assisted living centers. What makes Evergreen so remarkable is the people. Many of the lead staff have been there for a long time. They are mission driven and people driven. They genuinely care about each resident. My mom loves the staff. She loves that the chef invites residents to help set the menus and solicits feedback. She loves walking in the courtyard, making friends and the activities that are planned. She'd lived alone before this - I'm convinced her move to Evergreen has not only added quality but years to her life!

My father spent his last six months at Evergreen. Everyone there was very attentive and seemed to really care about my father’s physical health and quality of life. I visited daily and noticed his clothes and room were always clean. In fact, when I brought visitors with me, they were always surprised that it didn’t smell like a nursing home. There was never a time I was there that staff was idle or unavailable if we needed help. If a staffer couldn’t help, they would find someone who could. I’m not implying we didn’t have any issues, but all were resolved quickly with a follow up for me. Evergreen staff members were especially helpful when completing Medicaid applications and transferring Dad to Hospice coverage. The life coaches were encouraging residents to become involved with a variety of games daily and special events. The nutritionist met with me several times to brainstorm different ways/foods to encourage Dad to eat. To summarize, would I use Evergreen again……YES.

My husband has slowly advancing Alzheimer’s Disease and has been a permanent resident at Evergreen Community of Johnson County for a little over a year. I’m a retired ICU RN so am very picky about his healthcare and how it is managed and delivered. Evergreen Community has met or exceeded my expectations in every way. My husband loves living here and I can finally relax and return to being his loving wife rather than his full-time caretaker. Structurally, Evergreen Community is divided into three communities. Residents with various dementias are mixed in with rehab, respite, and physically challenged residents. The latest research in the elder care field shows mixing resident types is the best approach and provides the best outcomes for every type of resident. Each community has its own dedicated staff (RNs, LPNs, and a social worker (aka life coach). Each community also has its own individual dining room where the residents take their nutritious and well-prepared daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Resident can choose their preferences for each meal as well. Each resident is kept safe and secure. The Evergreen staff are all caring, very friendly, and very helpful! The staff all know every resident well and treat everyone with respect while taking into account each resident’s adult autonomy and care needs. Every staff member I encounter greets everyone they see with a smile, often making a comment to ensure family and visitors feel welcome and valued. The nursing and dietary specialists have been very responsive to any health concerns I shared to create an effective care plan for my husband. Each resident has an individual care plan that is reviewed with the family and resident every three months with any care changes communicated to me in between. The staff turnover at Evergreen is very low and continuing staff education provided is excellent when compared with other long-term care facilities. Management goes out of its way to ensure the staff feels appreciated and rewarded for their hard work. Evergreen provides many fun resident activities and celebrations. Now that COVID is winding down, closely supervised trips outside the facility to area events and attractions have started up again. There is a lovely secured outdoor area with a gazebo, walkways, multiple seating options, and beautiful plantings and trees that residents and visitors can access to enjoy as well. After 14 months, I’m very glad I chose Evergreen Community of Johnson County to care for my husband. Knowing he will live out the rest of his years in such a caring and special place is very reassuring.
