Assisted Living Memory Care @ The Evergreens

The Evergreens at The Azaleas is part of the assisted living community. For seniors diagnosed with memory concerns, dementia and Alzheimer’s, The Evergreens provide care with a keen understanding of the multi-faceted challenges of memory care. Loss of memory is difficult enough. Loss of independence can be just at disheartening. Choosing the right housing and memory care can be crucial ingredients for peace of mind when it comes to dealing with dementia or Alzheimer’s.

Residents of The Evergreens have a comfortable, home-like apartment with round-the-clock support and the same services available as assisted living. Despite memory impairment, the daily calendar is filled with productive activities. A secured area, The Evergreens offer a soothing, monitored environment with safety, physical and psychological needs of primary importance. Specially trained staff are committed to raising the standards of excellence for those with Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related illnesses.

When a person has memory loss, their life is made up of moments. At The Evergreens, it is our goal to create moments of joy by building a bridge from the past to the present. Our program is designed around the philosophy of reminiscence and recalling past experiences that brought joy to one’s life.
