Overview of Evergreen Estates

Evergreen Estates offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Clarkston, WA. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident maintains a private living space. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone who may be at risk of wandering. Having these care levels in one community can suit a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to a different community.

Evergreen Estates has 55 beds, making it a smaller community where residents and staff can get to know one another. Private rooms give residents a single personal living space, and respite care offers a short stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Short-term rehabilitation is also available for residents who need rehabilitation for a limited period.

Medicaid and Medicare are accepted. Medicaid can help a family whose savings may not cover a long stay, while Medicare applies to short-term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long-term residence. A salon and spa, patios, outdoor courtyards, and scheduled transportation give residents places to spend time outdoors, attend appointments or outings, and receive personal grooming services without leaving the community for those services.

Activities include lunch outings, dinner outings, bus tours, holiday celebrations, games, and crafts, giving residents organized options for recreation and community events. Rehabilitation services are available on site, allowing a resident to receive therapy without arranging separate transportation, and a community chapel provides access to religious services. Evergreen Estates opened in 1993.
