Mission Statement | Values | Management Philosophy | Our Team |

At Evergreen Place Assisted Living, we are committed to helping our residents meet their individual needs. We value each individual that comes to Evergreen Place, and to ensure only the best experience, we have designed our mission, values, and management philosophy around our senior community.

We are committed to assisting our residents to pursue individually satisfying lifestyles and to giving their families peace of mind by providing quality assisted living services in a secure, supportive, and home-like setting, as well as cultivating a valued relationship with the local community.

Independence
Personal choice and options are key to independent living.  Evergreen Place seniors personally choose the amount and type of assistance they would like from our caring staff.  Our assisted living facility is designed around our residents – all residents decide on their own day-to-day activities, spending their time as they please.  Residents of our senior community enjoy independence through choice.

Individuality
Each resident at Evergreen Place brings unique qualities to our senior community. As a community, we value these qualities, allowing our residents to make their care as individualized as possible, tailoring it to meet to their personal needs.

Sense of Belonging
At Evergreen Place, we work hard each day to create a safe, satisfying, and fun community for our residents. Our seniors can interact with one another through planned activities, quiet conversation or during meals. Residents form strong relationships with one another, as well as with our caring staff.

Dignity
Because Evergreen Place is designed around our residents' needs, we work hard to meet those needs in a respectful and dignified manner. We honor our seniors' requests for privacy, as well as the choices they make.

Excellence
Our residents' experience at Evergreen Place is always of the highest quality. We work hard to meet the needs of our senior community, making Evergreen Place truly feel like home. Our seniors expect the best – and we work hard to give them only the best. We take pride in caring for the elderly and strive to make our facility a comfortable, safe, and relaxing community.

At Evergreen Place, we are fully committed to supporting and maintaining the dignity, respect, choice, independence, self-determination, and wellness of our community. As a result, our staff upholds the following philosophical principles when it comes to caring for and working with our residents.

Choice and Shared Responsibility
Our residents remain our central focus. We establish a partnership with the resident and their family, allowing them to make choices about their care. The resident is always a part of the decision-making process in order to provide them with the utmost control. Our residents can maintain their own independence, requesting as much or as little assistance as needed.

Managed Risk
We do not limit the choices our residents' and their families make. We realize that some choices may bring inherent risks; however, we address these risks with the residents and their families, allowing them to make the final decision.

Service Management
In order to provide the best, personalized elder care for our residents, we conduct an individualized assessment of residents' service needs and preferences. Residents and their families are looked to for input, and from there, we decide on the level of care needed, together.

Job Responsibilities and Training
Evergreen Place's highly qualified and caring staff works hard to meet the individual needs of each resident. We hire only the best, most dedicated staff who will work with our residents and their families to make senior living a pleasant experience.

Each member of the Evergreen Place team truly contributes to the quality care we provide for our residents. Our residents benefit from a team whose first priority is our residents' care, no matter the task. This approach helps empower our team members, encouraging them to provide timely, quality services to those who call Evergreen Place home.
