Compassion.
Vision
Residents and families are listened to, informed, respected, and involved. The team has time to provide continuity of compassionate, individualized care.
Mission
In the book, Being Mortal, by Atul Gawande, he tells us that, ‘the very old do not fear death, but rather what happens before death’. He talks about, “continuous series of losses” and, “ the state of dependence”.
Understanding these concepts is what fuels the passion, mission and vision at Evergreen. We are genuinely devoted to providing dignity, autonomy, privacy, and respect – with the support of flexible, individualized care. Our facility and services are designed to support residents with the ability to do things they still value. Our team will adjust as your physical, functional, cognitive or mental health change.
When the reality of life occurs and independence becomes limited, we strive to provide the best day possible. We believe all residents have the right to high-quality, person centered care that seeks to preserve/ facilitate independence and choice at every opportunity and in every state of ability.
Compassion is the ability to be with suffering, along with the desire to transform it.
Our Values
Sense of Security - to feel safe and free from threat, harm, pain and discomfort.

Sense of Belonging - to feel part of a community or group as desired.
Sense of Purpose - to be able to identify and pursue goals and challenges; to exercise discretionary choice.

Sense of Significance - to feel recognized and valued as a person of worth; that one’s actions and existence are of importance; that you “matter”.
