Evergreen Garden Place stands on a 35-acre campus with an oak savannah woodland, lots of native plants, and Sawyer Creek nearby, so you can expect a peaceful, natural setting, and you remember, there are forty private accommodations here, each with a private half-bath between two households, and the community clusters homes around common green spaces called pocket neighborhoods, which gives it a neighborly, quiet feel if you're wanting somewhere like that. The facility has a capacity for twenty residents in its assisted living section, though it also offers independent living, enhanced living options, respite care for caregivers who need a break, and memory care for people with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, and there's also a skilled nursing facility that's Medicare-certified for those who need more care. There are fully furnished rooms, private bathrooms, beds and dressers if you want them, and three dining options with special diets like diabetic or allergy-sensitive meals, not to mention three meals a day served in a dining room, and the staff makes sure there's always help if you need it, like bathing, dressing, transfers, medication management, and regular supervision, since they've got someone on duty and a call system for emergencies 24 hours a day.
You get housecleaning, laundry, and linen service, and the assisted living part is licensed as a Residential Care Apartment Complex or RCAC, plus there's a separate Community Based Residential Facility, or CBRF, for those who need more help, along with regular supplies and personal hygiene items, so you don't have to worry about the basics. If you want to stay active or social, you'll see they've got daily and community-sponsored activities, arts rooms, movie nights, outdoor walking paths, gardens, beauty salon and barber shop, cable or satellite TV, and shared areas for socializing, with even an emergency alert system for an added layer of safety. The staff helps with transportation arrangements, and if you need rehab or therapy after surgery, injury, or illness, there's inpatient therapy right on site, and there are also specialized at-home care services for those who want to stay in their own homes. The community is built for frail elders, isn't wheelchair accessible, and focuses on resident-centered care, with personalized care plans and a secure setting for memory care folks, so families get a bit of peace of mind about safety and supervision because someone is always around and the environment is set up with comfort in mind.
Guided by Christian ideals, the staff tries to nurture everyone with compassion, respect, and dignity, and the place is designed for aging in place, so if you start out more independent and need more help later, you can usually adjust your level of care and even move between different parts of the community, like Linden Oaks or others like Courtyard Residence Apartments, Manor Apartments, Evergreen Village, and Evergreen Homes, depending on what you want and need, though of course everything depends on what's available. Maintenance-free living is included, so you don't have to worry about fixing things or mowing lawns, and the focus here is on making sure people feel safe, comfortable, and engaged in a nice natural setting.
