The Evergreens Of Moorhead

The Evergreens Of Moorhead is a senior living community in Moorhead, MN, that offers a wide range of care and living options, so folks can find what suits their needs, and there's this focus on comfort, safety, and friendliness throughout the place, since the team there believes in care that feels like home, and they make a point to help each person feel seen and supported, whether someone needs independent living, assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, respite care, home care, rehabilitation, hospice, or nursing home services. The buildings are single level with no stairs or elevators, and each has 15 apartments, so getting around is easy, and there's covered parking along with transportation options for residents who want to get out or need help getting around. There's a dining room that serves balanced, chef-prepared meals all day, and menus include options for special diets, including folks with allergies and diabetes, and meals can also come through Meals on Wheels. The place is pet-friendly, with both cats and dogs allowed, which helps folks feel more at home, and there are indoor and outdoor common areas-gardens, patios, walking paths-where people can enjoy nature or just sit and visit, and with plenty of community activities, faith-based programs, games, fitness options, art projects, and movie nights, there's always something to do, whether someone likes big groups or smaller gatherings. Staff are trained in caring for seniors at every stage, especially those with dementia and Alzheimer's, and provide help with things like bathing, dressing, medication, moving around, diabetic care, and even therapies to support mind, body, and spirit, and there are companion and adult day services too, so families can get extra support without giving up their own routines. Every resident gets a personal care plan, since needs change as time goes on, and emergency alert systems and 24-hour supervision bring peace of mind. There are specialized programs, like the Regular Unit, Enhanced Care Unit, and Memory Care Unit, plus the Ecumen Awakenings™ approach for people living with memory loss, which means activities and support are matched to each person's history and interests so they can stay engaged, feel safe, and express themselves. Devotional and spiritual activities are part of the week, which some folks really appreciate, and there's a barber and salon, laundry, dry cleaning, and help with move-in coordination. The cottages are maintenance-free and feel homey, with a culture that values kindness and joy among staff and residents. The Evergreens is part of Ecumen's wider network, and accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance. The facility holds a Housing with Services license and offers both affordable and higher-acuity care options. It's recognized with a national quality award, offers short-stay and long-term programs, and welcomes residents from Clay County and surrounding areas. Amenities aren't always spelled out, but the focus stays on making the place supportive, comfortable, and respectful, whether someone's living independently or needs more hands-on care, and there's always an effort to treat memory loss with understanding and compassion through specialized routines, secure spaces, and programs that help residents feel at ease.
