Evergreen Village at Fort Wayne sits in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and has a three-story building with blue siding, brick accents, and nice landscaping out front, so people notice the brick entrance sign when they arrive, and once inside, there's a bright, spacious lobby and a fireplace in the common area where folks can relax and chat. Residents can choose between studio and one-bedroom apartments, each with a kitchenette with a microwave, sink, and fridge, carpeted sleeping and living areas, linoleum in the bathroom and kitchen, individual heat and air conditioning controls, mini-blinds, and emergency call devices, so everyone has privacy but help is always nearby if needed. Bathrooms include walk-in showers, single vanities, and grab bars to make things safer, while bedrooms have comfortable beds and big windows for light.
The place has a focus on keeping seniors active, independent, and connected with others, so there are social, educational, and recreational programs every day, and the game room has a pool table and TV, while the bistro and communal dining spaces make it easy for residents to gather and talk over meals, and the outdoor covered patio with seating looks out on the landscaped grounds and a bike trail, so there's an easy way to spend time outside. For health and wellness, Evergreen Village offers a fitness room with equipment and mats, on-site laundry, a theater room, and walking paths, and if someone needs a haircut or wants to shop for snacks or toiletries, there's an on-site beauty salon and a convenience store.
The staff at Evergreen Village includes certified nursing assistants on duty 24 hours a day, and they provide ongoing health checks, medication help, and assistance with daily tasks like bathing and dressing when needed, along with home health and personal care, so seniors who need more support than independent living can get help in an assisted lifestyle setting, while those with memory care needs can join programs meant to prevent wandering and reduce confusion, and home health aides can care for residents who choose to remain in their own apartments. Adult day care and nursing home care are available, making this a continuing care retirement community, and they try to tailor care for every resident.
Meals are served restaurant-style three times daily with snacks, and there are housekeeping and laundry services, transportation options, and a financial assistance program for those who qualify, which keeps things worry-free for many seniors. Gathering areas, a library and computer room, TV lounge, mailboxes, and activity rooms offer more ways to spend time or meet friends, and there's space for large community events, making it clear that social needs aren't overlooked. Evergreen Village's setting near a hospital, restaurants, shopping, and other amenities makes it convenient when errands or appointments come up, while the building and grounds provide both independence and a sense of community, and many people say the staff are warm and helpful. The community's managed by Gardant Management Solutions, which is recognized for focusing on dignity and quality of life. Evergreen Village at Fort Wayne has won awards like Best Meals and Dining and Best Activities, but its real strength is in providing many services and options for a comfortable, safe, and engaging life for those aged 62 and older who want to keep their independence but may need a little extra help.
