Overview of Evergreen Retirement Community

Evergreen Retirement Community offers nursing home, assisted living, continuing care retirement community, home care, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing services in Cincinnati, Ohio. In the Hartwell neighborhood, its 21 beds create a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know one another.

The range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs change over time, since moving from one level of care to another can happen within the same community. Independent living provides a private home with community services and no daily care, while assisted living offers help with dressing, bathing, medication, and other daily tasks while the resident keeps an apartment.

Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Nursing home and skilled nursing services provide nursing care on site around the clock, while home care supports care delivered in a resident’s home.

The continuing care retirement community structure brings these living and care options together. For a resident whose needs may change, that can mean remaining within one community rather than seeking a separate setting for each new level of care.

Housing includes studios, one bedroom and two bedroom residences, and cottages. A studio offers one private space, while a two bedroom residence can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion.

Residents may keep pets, use the salon and spa, and spend time in the community’s outdoor spaces. Dining is available at The GardenSide, Pub 67, and Creekview Café, giving residents more than one setting for meals, with varied menus and daily specials.

Special diets are available for residents with particular dietary needs. Rehabilitation services and the Rehab & Therapy program support residents receiving therapy, while Enhanced Independent Living, Pocket Neighborhood, and At Home Care are also available.

Evergreen may be a good fit for a resident who wants a smaller setting, needs assisted living, memory care, nursing, or skilled nursing support, or may need a different level of care over time. Regina Umanskiy serves as the administrator.
