My mom has been there for just about a year. The staff is wonderful and feel like family. I always feel like I am welcome and they take great care of my mom. I recommend Evergreen Estates 1 highly.

My dad has recently been placed at Evergreen and I want to sincerely express gratitude towards the nurses, administrators, social worker, and everyone there. He has been treated with dignity, kindness, patience, and compassion. The facility is wonderfully taken care of; It is always clean, they offer consistent activities and offer great meals. The nursing team has been wonderful in terms of helping him maintain his blood sugars, medication management and everything in between. The administration and social worker have really gone out of their way to be helpful, as this is my first time trying to navigate an aging parent. I’m so thankful he was placed here and would recommend this facility for anyone who is looking for assisted living. Thank you to the whole staff!! You all do amazing work and are much appreciated!
