Assisted Living vs. Independent Living

We offer both models in one home so families can choose what fits best.

Independent Living here means active seniors enjoy autonomy – bedrooms, meals, housekeeping and social activities – with staff on standby as needed.

Assisted Living adds more help with personal care. In assisted living, our caregivers support residents with bathing, dressing, grooming and full medication management.

If Mom is still quite independent but wants security and chores done for her, independent living may suit her lifestyle. If she needs daily personal care or has health issues, assisted living provides that extra support. Either way, both options at Evergreen AFH give the safety and companionship families trust.

Fall Prevention at Evergreen

Preventing falls is a top priority for us.
Our home is equipped with fall sensors and grab bars, and wheelchairs or walkers are used as needed.

Caregivers always supervise when residents move around. We also do regular check-ups on seniors’ stability and make sure beds are at the right height. Thanks to these measures, and our high staff-to-resident ratio, falls are minimized.

If a loved one has fallen at home, an adult family home like ours can provide a safer environment where continuous assistance greatly reduces that risk.

Short-Term & Respite Stays

Yes, we welcome short stays at Evergreen Wellness AFH.

Some families arrange respite visits for a few weeks if they need a break or to test out the setting.

When a private room is available, we provide the same 24/7 care and activities even for temporary residents.

Short stays are a good way to see if our home is the right fit for your loved one. Rest assured, even on a short-term basis, every resident receives full attention, personal care, and participation in our daily life.

Arts & Crafts Afternoon

Creativity is encouraged here!
Residents join in our arts & crafts session. Whether it’s painting watercolors, making greeting cards, or simple crafts with beads and yarn, engaging in art is both fun and therapeutic.

These activities keep hands agile and minds active, and everyone loves showing off the artwork. Art time also sparks conversation – residents share stories behind their creations.

Expressive activities like these are a simple way to promote joy and meaning every day.
