Evergreen Residence is an active assisted living community in Visalia, California. It is within fascinating Tulare County which is part of the Golden State.
Evergreen Residence cares for aging adults in environments that focus on attaining the highest quality of living, while providing services specifically designed to address each person’s well-being.
With over 14 years in Visalia as a family-owned care facility for the elderly, our specially trained staff don’t simply consider ourselves care-givers, but we love gradually becoming a part of your loved one’s extended family.
Evergreen has successfully developed a unique and personalized program for each resident, so everyone receives the best care possible. Our program continues to evolve since we know each resident’s condition changes over time.
We make it our promise to the families of our residents that their loved ones are in the safest, most hospitable and friendly environment on a budget that will give them the peace of mind they deserve to have. It takes a village to care for a loved one. In order to meet our residents’ needs, we are in frequent contact with families as well as physicians, nurses or therapists to discuss any changes we may encounter.
Here at Evergreen, we recognize the special needs of people with Alzheimer’s disease and other related memory impairments. In our Reminiscence Hall, our approach to caring for our residents with memory loss is to understand and address all their emotional, mental and spiritual needs as individual. There are three main aspects of our Alzheimer’s Care program: our Reminiscence Program, Project Lifesaver, and, of course, Family Support.
Evergreen Residence Reminiscence Program focuses on meaningful activities. Our goal is to help maintain independence and quality of life during the progression of Alzheimer’s and related dementia. Reminiscence Program offers activity choices that allow each resident to spend time in ways that can be meaningful and enjoyable to them. Each resident has a Personal Life History completed upon move-in to let us know of individual activities that may be of interest to them. Specially trained caregivers incorporate meaningful activities into daily life. Caregivers are encouraged to facilitate creative activities respecting the uniqueness of each individual. Our program allows individual differences in locale, culture, needs and interests to be accommodated.
It is important to help each resident continue to be involved with their family. Family members are encouraged to participate in the life of their loved one at Evergreen Residence. We want you to take advantage of support groups and participate in service planning meetings to increase your understanding of dementia, and to help us shape how it impacts your loved one and family.
The primary mission of Project Lifesaver is to provide timely response to save lives and reduce potential injury for adults who wander due to Alzheimer’s. The task of searching for wandering or lost individuals with Alzheimer’s is a growing and serious responsibility. Because time is of the essence, every minute lost increases the risk of a tragic outcome. As an added safety, Evergreen Residence is the first in Visalia to adopt in Project Lifesaver, which allows our Alzheimer’s residents to wear a small personal transmitter around the wrist or ankle that emits an individualized tracking signal. In a rare case an Evergreen resident goes missing, our Caregiver notifies our local Project Lifesaver agency, and a trained emergency team responds to the wanderer’s area. Most who wander are found within a few miles from home, and search times have been reduced from hours and days to minutes. This technology brings great peace of mind to families and caregivers for this added precaution.
Here at Evergreen, we understand that sometimes things just don’t work out the way we want them to. Our family means the world to us, and we want yours to know that you feel the same. So when you’re all out of options for your loved one to be cared for at home, let Evergreen Senior Care be your next stop! We provide care designed to allow the same high quality of care and services enjoyed by permanent residents on a short term or respite basis. Family members can go away (i.e. vacation, errands, catch-up with to-do’s, etc.) and have the peace of mind that comes with knowing their loved ones are being well cared for.
