Evergreen Valley Assisted Living sits at 3009 Evergreen Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland, in a spacious home with a bit of a country feel, and you'll see right away that family and friends are always encouraged to visit, which gives the place a warm, lived-in feeling, and as you walk around you'll see furnished living spaces-some private, some semi-private-so folks can have a quiet room or share, depending on what works best. Residents get three decent, tasty meals each day plus snacks, and the kitchen is careful with special diets, diabetes needs, and all-day dining if hunger strikes at odd times; laundry and housekeeping are included so there's less to worry about, and there's always someone around for companionship and to help with things like bathing, dressing, and getting around, since many folks need extra hands for transfers or getting to meals and activities, with non-ambulatory care available too so folks who can't walk on their own get proper support.
There's an activity coordinator who keeps up with everyone's interests so you could find yourself joining in on exercise programs, movie nights, arts and crafts, gardening, or heading out on a trip since they organize off-site excursions and community-sponsored activities to keep things lively, and for folks who need memory care or have Alzheimer's, there are special programs and routines that focus on safety and comfort, with 24-hour supervision so everyone's secure. The registered nurse manages medication and keeps an eye on everyone's health, working together with local healthcare providers for chronic diseases like diabetes, stroke, or lung problems, and there are physical therapy and respite care options if someone needs extra help for a while.
Evergreen Valley uses a home and community-based care model, meaning folks can get help in familiar surroundings, and care plans are personalized, updated as needed, so people feel respected and supported, whether they need extra help with daily activities or just someone to talk to. Safety features like the emergency alert system give peace of mind, and caregivers are English-speaking, compassionate, and trained to handle many situations. Residents get meals, snacks, personal care, and help with everything from grooming to exercise, even if some days are harder than others. There's a strong sense of routine with meals served in the dining room, and services like transportation, parking, and move-in coordination help families out. The place stays clean, the staff is helpful and easy to talk to, and it feels like a home. Entertainment, walking paths, and gardens mean you can find a little bit of everything to stay busy, stay social, or have a quiet day if you want.
