Evergreen Woods

88 Notch Hill Rd, North Branford, CT 06471
Overview of Evergreen Woods

In North Branford, CT, Evergreen Woods has four levels of care inside one continuing care retirement community. The first two are independent living and assisted living, and nursing home care and skilled nursing complete the set.

At 50 beds, it falls on the smaller side, which leaves staff and residents the chance to become familiar faces to each other. A resident here is staffed at 5 hours and 32 minutes of nurse time daily. Since nursing home care and skilled nursing are both present, every shift carries licensed nursing, including overnight ones too.

Dressing, bathing, and taking medication are where assisted living staff step in. Independent living stays private and comes with community services but no care routine. A family deciding now can plan for needs that haven’t shown up yet, since changing levels later doesn’t mean leaving Evergreen Woods.

Private rooms are available, along with one-bed, two-bed, and three-bed options. A one-bed room is a person’s own space, while the larger layouts suit someone arriving with a companion or content to share.

Residents can keep pets here too. Two payment routes apply, and they are Medicare and a family’s own funds.
