Everyday life at Evergreen Place focuses on the multifaceted approach we employ for our senior. Evergreen Place is maintained by a diligent and caring staff of professionals with operations overseen by our director. Our team of compassionate caregivers consistently and unwaveringly provides direct and respectful communication to our residents.
Ryan, our administrative and building services coordinator, started off his time at Evergreen in the culinary department and has since dabbled in just about everything and decided to switch roles when an opportunity arose. He has been in the senior living industry for almost 8 years, and in management for 16 years. He loves serving seniors, whether it’s by cooking for them, maintaining their apartment, or behind-the-scenes office management. Ryan enjoys doing the “little things” that make a big difference to his residents. He’s been called the “yes man” many times, because there’s nothing he won’t do to make our people happy! In his free time, Ryan loves travelling, woodworking, all types of gardening, and remodeling his 1850’s farmhouse and all its outbuildings. When he’s not mowing his 3 acres, he loves spending time with his fiancé, Erin, with whom he has been with for 10 years, as well as their two dogs, Oscar and Okie.
James Matson, our culinary services coordinator, comes to us with more than 30 years of culinary and management experience. From fast-casual to fine dining, there’s nothing he hasn’t had experience cooking. When he’s not pleasing our residents’ taste buds, James enjoys traveling with his wife and two daughters. James has a deep love for his canine companions as well—Doug, Otto, and Wrigley. In the summer he can usually be found in his backyard, poolside. James loves working for Evergreen because of the positive atmosphere the team creates—it’s good to look forward to coming to work every day.
