My dad was a resident of Evergreen Retirement Community for almost two months. The unit that he was in was well-maintained and updated. It seemed like a very safe community. The staff was attentive. They worked with us a lot, especially when we had to back out of the place. They had an activities person there. They had weekly social events and clubs. There was a courtyard. The facility was very clean. They just did some light remodeling, replaced the carpet, and painted the hallways. So it was very nice and well-furnished. We didn't have any problems with them. The management was very attentive. There were some times when the meals were either late or weren't brought up on certain days, but it wasn't a huge deal. We would email, and they would take it off of the bill.

Evergreen Retirement Community was very nice, I like their amenities and facilities. My only concern was that apparently, there's an annual increase in rates at the average of 5%. So that's my only hesitation. The couple that I knew had been there for a while moved, and that was the reason. The staff who assisted me during the tour, his name was Josh, he was very, very helpful, and very comprehensive. He showed us apartments, the little cottages that have their own garage attached, and so on. We talked about what sort of activities they do, and how people get their meals and stuff. So it was a great tour and very informative. There's a little area where you can get sandwiches and snacks, I'm not sure about the residents but we had to pay for them. It looks good and the choices were good. They were doing choir practice. I saw people sitting in various areas that looked comfortable and calm.

My mother is in Evergreen Retirement Community. It had a very nice atmosphere. Her cottage where she lives is absolutely beautiful. She felt right at home. It doesn't feel like a nursing home. It was very, very nice. That's why she liked it. She eats dinner there only, she is responsible for her own breakfast and lunch. We were very happy with the food before the pandemic. We have not been happy since, but they're just having a hard time getting back after the pandemic. The meals before the pandemic were very nice. The dining hall was very elegant, and the food was delicious. They have a menu to choose from, and it's just very lovely. They sit at little tables and it's quite fancy actually. Since the pandemic, it's not as good. They don't have enough workers. That's the real problem. She lives in a little cottage, and she has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a lovely kitchen with an eating table area, and a very nice living room with a sliding glass door that goes out onto her own private patio. So, it's extremely nice. She has her own washer/dryer. And it's just very, very nice. She loves it. She loves her unit. They have lovely party rooms and game rooms, and they do lots of activities. They have an auditorium, they have a little swimming pool for walking in, like four feet deep. They just have a lot. The garden is beautiful, like a chateau.

I went to Evergreen Retirement Community. The apartments are spacious. It is like 63 acres. It's very calming and relaxing, and it's a beautiful campus. They had a lot of outdoor activities. They showed us a room where different community arts come in to perform. It was a beautiful setting. We saw a model room. It was very spacious. The kitchen was nice. The only issue my aunt had with them is that it was more pricey than the other ones. The first floor had a patio, the second floor had a balcony, and the third floor had no outdoor space, so you wouldn't want to be in an apartment with no outdoor space. Other than that, it was an excellent facility. They only provided one meal, which I think was the other thing that impacted her decision. Other facilities did two or three meals. The one person that took us around was friendly, nice, and very informative.

Evergreen Retirement Community would have been our second choice. They had a great staff, but their independent living was straight up independent living. There's no add-ons and we weren't quite ready for assisted living yet. Other than that, it was a really nice facility, and they offer a lot of the same kinds of activities. It's got beautiful grounds and great facilities. Their apartments had a really nice space with big windows. It's clean with a nice layout and lots of storage. They had lots of green space, they had exercise activities, movie nights, and outings as well. It's still a great community.

Evergreen Retirement Community is one beautiful place. The eye appeal was just terrific. It's like a whole castle. The little place that we looked at was well kept and clean. The location for me was too far away from our family and friends. The people were helpful and kind. The young man answered my questions, and then he gave me a brochure about the place. The two apartments that I looked at were extremely roomy, well laid out, and would accommodate everything that we have to move. The staff seemed very enthusiastic and liked his job. He was extremely knowledgeable and patient. They had a fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. They had places you could sit around and a little courtyard.

My husband and I have been living in Evergreen Retirement Community's independent living for about close to a year now. It's great, we have our apartment, we go to the dining room for our evening meal, and we have no complaints at all. We don't have anything to do with the staff, except in the dining room and that's fine. The cleanliness and upkeep are excellent. We have our evening meal in the dining room every day and the food is excellent. We're independent and so we have our own activities that we do. Our apartment has a full kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large living and dining area, and it's just perfect.

I went to Evergreen Retirement Community. The staff was very nice, they showed us several apartments, but they were in construction and weren't ready for us. They don't have open dining; it was more old school because they have set times for meals, and it was farther away from us. The have a full array of activities. The independent living feels a bit smaller, they have a bistro where they can get food all the time, and the main dining room opens at designated hours.

Evergreen is horrible. The food is mediocre, and the housekeeping is deplorable, there's dirt in the hallways and on the steps that have been there for a long time. If something breaks the maintenance fixes it, but they won't do things like hanging pictures; they're not very helpful. My deck has been scummy, splintery and ugly, and the screen is broken, and I'm still waiting on that. They told me when I moved in that they'll work on that, but nothing has happened so far. It's a terrible place, and I noticed that the people who come to live there are there to die. It's not independent, but very assisted living. Everybody there has an oxygen tank, a wheelchair, or an electric scooter. They also have aides which they pay extra for.

I visited Evergreen, it is very nice, and the director is outstanding and super caring. The grounds were well laid out, and they have patios, but the director said she might need more of assisted care, instead of independent care. I feel she will would get lost because there are a lot of different hallways and spaces. Their food was the best, I went to a luncheon there, and it was like going to a nice restaurant, and the service was excellent. They served it to everyone in their main dining room, and I was truly impressed with that. They have a lot of activities, interesting ones too, including people from the outside coming in, and they were doing a fashion show with antique cars.

I visited Evergreen Retirement Community. I didn't get a chance to look at all of the apartments, but they were very nice and the sizes were adequate. They had nice cottages that were separate from the main lobby. I didn't look into the activities because I could not afford it under my current income. The staff was very professional and accommodating. I didn't find anything wrong with the facilities, but there were a few little intricate things that I wouldn't be critical of like the parking lot being a little tight or a little crowded for space. They had a very nice library.

The grounds at Evergreen Retirement Community were nice. They had nice apartments, and they remodeled some. They had crafts, outings, socials, a whole calendar of events, and exercises. They have breakfast and dinner, and they have to pay extra for snacks. The staff was very nice. They offer a home nurse or a nursing home kind of assisted living.

Evergreen Retirement Community was too far away, but it had wonderful staff and a great dining facility. They had continuum of care, skilled care, and assisted living. It was a beautiful huge campus. The rooms were very nice. It was a little bit more expensive.

We liked the surroundings, the inside, and the rooms of Evergreen. We liked the layout, and it’s in a nice location. The daily activity sheet was very satisfactory. We had lunch, and the food was pretty much to our liking.

I loved the setting of Evergreen Retirement. It had peaceful grounds all around it. I saw two rooms; one without a balcony and one with. Both were wonderful and of good size. I liked the hallways. They are nice and wide with lots of light. They seem to have a sense of more activities maybe because of all the walking areas that are safe to walk. They also have a coffee shop with lots of tables. If I had a place to recommend for my aunt, it would be Evergreen.

Our second choice was Evergreen. It was an older place but very nice, and it’s a larger community. It was in a beautiful place. There was golf course and a putting green. You have to dress up to go to supper and I wasn’t crazy about that, but everything else there I really like.

Evergreen Retirement Community is where my father is. It’s a wonderful and an established place with lots of big trees. They have a golf area, and it has beautiful little walkways and gardens. My father is in their independent living, and everything is well kept. Everything is nice and clean. It's a very friendly community as well. Most of the staff addresses you by name. They really are very sincere and caring. The dining room is beautiful. It’s like going into a hotel dining room. They come and they take your order. The food is delicious. They have lots of different amenities. They have entertainment and taking people to doctors and groceries. It’s a really nice place. I would like to stay there myself.
