Introduction: Why Alzheimer’s Awareness Month Matters in Katy, TX

June isn’t just another month at Evergreen Cottages. It’s personal. It’s purposeful. And for many families here in Katy, TX, it’s the moment they begin asking hard—but necessary—questions.

Questions like: Is it time for memory care? What does real Alzheimer’s support actually look like? How do I know my parent will be seen, heard, and truly cared for?

This month—Alzheimer’s Awareness Month—puts a spotlight on one of the most misunderstood and emotionally complex conditions affecting older adults. But at Evergreen, that spotlight isn’t temporary. It’s something we shine on every day.

“This isn’t a once-a-year cause for us—it’s our daily mission. We serve people with Alzheimer’s every hour of every day. June is just when we get to bring the world into that reality.”

In Katy and the surrounding Houston area, families are grappling with how to care for aging parents with memory loss. Evergreen offers something different—a personal, intimate, and relationship-driven approach to care that puts dignity first.

The Evergreen Approach to Memory Care: More Than Just a Facility

At Evergreen Cottages, we don’t operate like a facility. We live like a family. That mindset separates us from traditional senior housing, especially when it comes to Alzheimer’s care in Katy, TX.

We built small, home-style cottages on purpose—to make sure each resident is seen, known, and cared for with intention.

What Makes Our Alzheimer’s Care Different

• Small homes, not large buildings: Fewer people means fewer transitions and more meaningful relationships.
• Real consistency in staffing: Residents see the same faces every day. That consistency matters in Alzheimer’s care.
• Clear, familiar routines: Daily schedules stay the same. Mealtimes are predictable. Structure creates calm.
• Environment built for memory care: Thoughtful layout, calming design, and accessible features make a huge difference.
• Staff trained in connection: Emotional awareness, tone, and human connection are all part of how care is delivered.

This month, we open our doors to families who are starting to explore care. We educate. We listen. We meet people where they are. Because Alzheimer’s care doesn’t begin with a diagnosis. It begins with trust.

Alzheimer’s Care Isn’t Just What We Do—It’s How We Do It

June is a reminder for the outside world. But for us, it’s the standard. This month we reflect on the systems and people that make our model work.

The Invisible Details That Actually Change Lives

• Shift consistency and deep relationships: Staff know residents well and build trust over time.
• Low resident-to-caregiver ratio: One-on-one attention is essential for quality dementia care.
• Environmental design: Calm spaces, clear cues, and soothing lighting support cognitive function.
• Care planning that evolves: Personalized plans adapt as conditions change.
• Training that goes beyond basics: June includes focused staff refreshers on memory care principles.

Families choose us because what they see isn’t a campaign. It’s a lifestyle of care, built around the people we serve.

Local Legacy: How Evergreen Educates and Inspires the Katy Community

Memory care doesn’t stop at our front door. One of the most important things we do during Alzheimer’s Awareness Month is support the greater Katy community.

How We Support Katy Families and Professionals During June

• Informational visits: Private consultations with families exploring care options.
• Outreach to healthcare providers: Tools and materials to support early intervention conversations.
• Education for community groups: Faith communities, senior groups, and others receive direct Alzheimer’s education.
• Locally focused guides: We publish clear resources for Katy families about memory care.
• Support referrals: We connect families with counseling, respite care, and community support options.

Evergreen isn’t just a care home. It’s a community partner that continues to educate, support, and uplift Katy families year-round.
