Make the Transition Easier

When done well, moving can be a wonderful experience. Prioritizing your loved one’s needs and involvement can make this transition much smoother. Therefore, we provide and encourage our residents to participate and engage in programs offered at Evergreen Senior Living. Through multiple activities, seniors can interact with their peers, maintain abilities, learn new skills, and develop a sense of security and belonging. Evergreen Senior Living creates an interactive environment by implementing five key activities.

Mental Workouts

Encouraging and energizing the mind is essential! Mental workouts are encouraged through discussions and reminiscing exercises, memory tasks and number puzzles, various games, etc. Keeping the mind active and engaged is key!

Physical Activities

Offering fun and purposeful activities is a great way to encourage and keep the residents healthy, happy, and satisfied. These activities include walking programs, dancing, yoga, and group exercises.

Contribution Opportunities

By extending a hand in purposeful projects and tasks, the residents can gain a sense of belonging and need within their new environment.

Person-Centered Program

Through these staff-led programs that encourage positive and intentional interaction with others, the residents can share their stories, interests, hobbies, and skills. In return, this creates a sense of community and understanding among peers.

Outings and Trips

Our team members and volunteers organize and plan excursions to various locations regularly, including museums, dining out, concerts, fishing, and cultural events. We offer our residents the opportunity to explore with their new friends and have fun!

Moving a loved one into a senior care community can be a wonderful experience when it’s done right. At Evergreen Senior Living, we understand, and we strive to make all residents part of the Evergreen family. We encourage you to learn more about our community and visit our website or call (708) 479-1082 to schedule a tour of our campus today. 

National Assisted Living Week Celebration

National Assisted Living Week is a time of celebration for communities to highlight the incredible care given and friendships made through assisted living. Even during this uncertain time of a pandemic, we used a little creativity to help our residents and families enjoy safely.

We kicked off the week with a surprise resident card shower and family car parade. Families went all out with car decorations, honking horns, and upbeat music. Even our director Carol participated by leading the parade on her bike. Another highlight was Senior Splash Day: complete with a seafood lunch, shark blood ice cream floats, and a dunk tank. Throughout the week, we had exciting performers and special meals, like our alfresco Italian dinner evening. With the wonderful weather we have had, our residents were able to get a little golf putting done and enjoy donuts on our hole-in-one Saturday to close out the week.

As we all find safe ways to interact with our loved ones and socially distance during activities, we were thrilled to see smiling faces and increased activity levels during this memorable week. Little touches like our resident family photo slide show in the lobby brought much joy. Hats off to all the assisted living communities who work together to bring the best care possible to so many people.



You are loved!

Take a Much-Needed Break with Respite Care

Respite care is a short-term care option for home caregivers. Perhaps your loved one is unable to accompany you on vacation or, following the current shelter-in-place order, you need some time alone. Evergreen Senior Living offers short-term stay options for just such occasions. It’s also a great way to introduce your loved one to our assisted living and memory support campuses. If either of those options are on the horizon, a trial run may be just what your senior needs to fully embrace the decision.

Our Road-to-Home respite offers short-term stays for seniors recovering from surgery or a rehabilitative stay due to illness or injury. The goal of Road-to-Home respite care is to ease the transition between a hospital stay and full independence at home. Your loved one can concentrate on the final stages of recovery while we provide the care, services, and conveniences needed.

No matter the situation, Evergreen Senior Living is here to be a resource for you.

While staying at Evergreen, your loved one will have access to the services, amenities, and activities that our residents experience daily.

If you care for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, The Legacy: Memory Support offers special short-term respite care as well. At The Legacy, our caring staff is specially trained to meet the specific needs that come with the challenges of dementia so you can rest easy knowing that your loved one is receiving the care and attention necessary for their unique needs.

To learn more about our respite offerings, call (708) 479-1082.

Convenient Medication Management with Green Tree Pharmacy

Medication management is key to resident well-being. Evergreen Senior Living residents may choose to maintain their own medication routine or to receive medication management assistance from our wellness team. Evergreen Senior Living works with its own pharmacy, Green Tree Pharmacy, which will organize medications in strip packs and provide free and convenient 24-hour delivery service.

We are the only senior living community in the area with a dedicated, senior-focused, non-retail pharmacy, making our pharmacists specialized leaders in the industry. 

Nurse Practitioner Services at Evergreen Senior Living

Evergreen Senior Living has partnered with a clinical team of skilled nurse practitioners who work to maintain our community’s health and well-being. The nurse practitioners are qualified to diagnose medical problems, order diagnostics and treatments, perform advanced procedures, and prescribe medications. Appointments are easy to schedule, and the services are conveniently provided in our community.

Having a nurse practitioner regularly on our campus better serves our residents by cutting down on physician office and hospital visits and travel. It also increases communication between our residents and their physicians.

 At Evergreen Senior Living, our residents feel safe and confident in their private apartments, which are equipped with secure door locks. Personal care services are provided in each resident’s apartment for convenience and privacy. Every resident at Evergreen Senior Living is connected to our internal emergency response notification system, Lifeline. Each member of our community has a personal alert button, which can be used to reach our wellness team 24 hours a day.

Wellness Team: Discreet and Dignified Personal Assistance

Our professionally trained senior caregivers are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Residents and their families have peace of mind knowing our team is always nearby to lend a helping hand. Each resident at Evergreen Senior Living has individual and unique care needs. Some require a small amount of assistance, while others need more. To help us better understand those needs, we gather information from the resident, their loved ones, and physicians and customize a plan of care that meets the needs and desires of each resident. We complete this plan before move-in and on an annual basis or as a resident’s needs require.

In all situations, every resident deserves respect, privacy, and freedom of choice. Evergreen Senior Living is a community where independence thrives, and compassionate care is always available. 

We have had nothing but the best service and quality of care from Evergreen Senior Living in Orland Park. Everyone from the cafeteria staff to the director have shown our family the utmost respect and assistance. We are so very happy with the entire facility.
