What makes us special?

What truly sets Evergreen Homestead apart is our small scale personal approach. We intentionally limit the number of residents so that each person receives consistent care from familiar faces. This close connection helps residents feel safe, valued, and part of our extended family.

With just a few residents, our home provides the close-knit atmosphere and personal attention that larger facilities can't match. We take the time to listen, support, and truly get to know each person's preferences, their favorite routines, and unique stories so every day feels familiar, more meaningful, and full of dignity.
