Evergreen Community of Johnson County at 11875 South Sunset Drive in Olathe has a lot for seniors looking for care or a home, and folks can find assisted living, independent living, memory care, skilled nursing, and even hospice services with Evergreen Hospice Care, which means they've really tried to cover a wide range of needs, whether somebody just needs a bit of help now and then or something more hands-on around the clock, and the staff call themselves self-directed caregivers, offering person-centered care with the idea that everyone deserves their choices and personal preferences to be respected, so residents get help with daily stuff like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and moving around, and there's always staff there if someone needs supervision or a quick hand for transfers or for help just making life easier.
Rooms around the place are semi-private and have a home-like feel, making sure the place doesn't feel cold or like a hospital, and folks can expect private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and furnished spaces, so comfort seems to be a priority, and the whole community is organized into small neighborhoods meant to feel more like a real home, not just a big institution-GERTI, their own educational group, works on making places like this feel warm and family-like instead of institutional. Family and social life is encouraged through family and dining areas, and there are places for everyone to connect-movie rooms, activity rooms, music rooms, libraries, and even game rooms.
If someone likes getting outside, there's walking paths and outdoor common spaces, and the community does a good job offering plenty of activities, both indoors and out, with things like community-sponsored programs, outings, and meaningful connection activities that are adjusted to what people like to do, so you're not just signing up for a generic schedule. Residents who want to stay moving can use the community fitness room and even wellness/spa amenities, and they can join outdoor programs when the weather's good.
Meals come restaurant-style with chefs doing the cooking, and special dietary needs-like allergies or diabetes-are handled, so eating there isn't a worry, and there's always something set for every resident, and for those who need help getting somewhere, Evergreen Community has transportation, parking, move-in help, and concierge services, so organizing everyday life is a bit easier. The non-profit, award-winning home supports about 84 residents, and aims for a lively place, keeping comfort and engagement high for everyone, with both long-term care and short-term rehab also on their list of services.
