Evercare Assisted Living was founded out of a personal experience that underscored the urgent need for more comprehensive mental health support in long-term care environments. The team behind Evercare witnessed firsthand the distressing impact that a lack of specialized mental healthcare could have on seniors, as a beloved family member developed depression and rapidly declined after entering assisted living. This heartbreaking journey ignited a commitment to creating a place where mental healthcare would be just as integral as medical care in the lives of seniors.
At the core of Evercare’s philosophy is a belief in the integration of mental health and medical care to ensure the best possible quality of life for residents. Evercare works closely with its partners to expand access to specialized geriatric mental healthcare, harnessing the latest technologies to improve both coordination and convenience of patient care. Their comprehensive approach emphasizes early diagnosis and timely treatment, which not only addresses mental health challenges sooner, but also helps to reduce emergency room visits and hospitalizations. This proactive care model benefits not only residents and their families but also facility staff, as it reduces the potential for burnout and turnover, creating a more supportive and stable environment for everyone.
Evercare’s holistic approach is at the heart of its mission. Specialists at Evercare are embedded within a collaborative care team that works side by side with primary care providers. This structure facilitates ongoing communication and coordinated treatment strategies, ensuring that each resident receives truly personalized care. The staff is committed to continuously educating themselves and fellow team members on mental health topics, which enhances their ability to support residents who may be struggling. Treatment plans at Evercare are individualized and may include medication, counseling, dietary modifications, and exercise prescriptions, tailoring each intervention to improve both mental and physical health outcomes.
A broad spectrum of mental health challenges are addressed at Evercare, including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, PTSD, schizophrenia, dementia, traumatic brain injury, developmental disabilities, insomnia, OCD, ADHD, and substance abuse. Through programs such as Ever Care Mobile and Ever Care Mobile Group, residents have access to a wider range of specialized services right where they live, without the burden of traveling to outside clinics. These initiatives further strengthen the connectivity between primary care providers, specialists, hospice, and facility staff, fostering a seamless flow of information and a united approach to each individual’s care.
By emphasizing collaboration, education, and technological integration, Evercare Assisted Living strives not only to enhance the lives of its residents, but also to serve as a model of comprehensive senior care where mental health is prioritized as a vital part of aging well. The ultimate goal is to help make the last years of life truly fulfilling, ensuring that residents experience dignity, joy, and connection every day.
