This past Sunday, I had a housewarming party in the Reis building. It was arranged by Nancy Constantinople of Evergreen Woods. I am not one for hyperbole, but it was so special. It was carefully put together and it was seamless. The food was so good. The flower arrangements the special touches that Nancy brought were many thank you Nancy. I am grateful I am at EW.

I love the staff at Evergreen Wood! Especially Nancy Constantinople. She has done nothing but go above and beyond for my friend who has moved in. She's always got a smile on her face. I've never heard her say no or we can't do it. She's always buzzing around and everyone loves her. The staff here is just like her. The food is fantastic in the events are a lot of fun. Great job!

My family member was at Evergreen for over 60 days and we were both very pleased with the excellent care. The rehab unit provided top notch physical therapy, recreation,CNAs, nurses and support from social services. The meals were very good - especially the ice cream. I wish I could provide names but I fear I would leave someone out. They made us feel like we were family and we are grateful

We moved here after 60 years in the same house in Massachusetts. Excellent apartment plus friendly and helpful staff made it an excellent choice. So far, the other residents match up with the good experience. Try it, you'll like it.

I would like to thank Nancy Constantinople and Krista O’Donnell for their help in making my mothers move to Evergreen Woods such a positive experience. They both made themselves available at all times, and were always a pleasure to deal with. Krista got the apartment and transfer documents taken care of very efficiently. Nancy has genuinely welcomed my mom, included her in new comer events, and came out on a snowy Sunday to be sure the moving truck could make its delivery. Thank you to everyone at Evergreen Woods, my mom and I couldn’t be happier!
