We are proud to offer the following amenities and guest services:
The dining experience at Evergreen Commons is a culinary treat. In conjunction with our dietitian and Food Service Director, our talented chef prepares nutritious meals that are appetizing and satisfies even the most demanding tastes.
Scrumptious, wholesome, and appetizing meals are prepared daily, taking into account the dietary considerations of our residents. All entrees are freshly prepared in our kitchen daily, using reduced salt and sugar when necessary. Each selection is served with extra touches that make it look and taste delicious. Residents may choose their meal from a “Resident Approved” menu that includes a main entrée as well as an alternate entrée for every lunch and dinner. Special therapeutic diets are provided as specifically prescribed by guest’s attending physician and supervised by a dietician. Our clinical nursing staff monitor each dining room to ensure each resident is satisfied with their daily meals. Alternate meals, as well as sandwiches, are always available upon resident request.
Holiday meals are celebrated with festive traditions. Special meals such as buffet breakfasts, picnic lunches, Father’s Day Breakfast, Mother’s Day Tea, and our annual Family Thanksgiving Buffet and Valentine’s Day Gala become social events and are greatly enjoyed by our residents. Summertime brings weekly barbeques enjoyed on our outside patio. Each care community unit also houses a fully stocked kitchenette, which ensures constant availability of beverages and light refreshments anytime of the day or night. Delicious snacks and nutritional supplements are provided per the request and/or need of our residents by physician order.
At Evergreen Commons Rehabilitation and NursingCenter, our Recreation Therapy Department is designed to stimulate the body and mind through a broad range of activities intended to encourage social interaction and promote health and wellness. Every day is alive with a variety of social events and festivities. Under the leadership of an Activities Director, our events calendar is full of meaningful and entertaining programs. The Recreation staff is augmented by a dedicated team of volunteers. Residents often enjoy the companionship of children, teens, plants and pets. Local churches provide religious support via weekly services and individual visits.
Residents look forward to seasonal events such as holiday concerts, semi-formal events, summer picnics, and our summertime barbeques. They can take advantage of the many activities offered during each season like cultivating and tending the raised vegetable garden, or other outdoor activities. Or, they can simply sit and enjoy our beautiful landscaped grounds while relaxing on our outdoor patio, either enjoying the warmth of the sunlight or sitting underneath a spacious awning.
Evergreen Commons appreciates and values the opinions of our residents when it comes to their care and stay at our facility. The residents of the facility can choose to participate in the Resident Council. Resident Council holds monthly business meetings. Through the Resident Council, residents can make recommendations for recreational programs, operational improvements and conduct fundraisers, etc.
The vision of the Pet Therapy program is to provide our residents with something they can love and care for, something which adds meaning to their lives. The program provides companionship, love and lots of entertainment.
This program has truly helped transform our facility into a spontaneous, often unpredictable, but home-like environment and has been a shining example of how much life pets can bring into a facility.
