Daily Living at Evergreen Cottages
There is no typical day for someone living with dementia. That’s why at Evergreen Cottages, we adapt every day to meet our residents where they are—physically, emotionally, and mentally. We call this philosophy “Taking Their Walk”—being present through each step of their journey with empathy, structure, and loving care.
Meaningful Routines
Consistent daily routines bring comfort and a sense of safety. From morning to evening, residents engage in purposeful, familiar activities that promote well-being and structure.
Purposeful Tasks
Residents are encouraged to help with small daily tasks like folding linens, setting tables, or gardening—building self-worth, purpose, and a sense of belonging in a home-like environment.
Physical Wellness
Daily movement is essential. Our residents participate in age-appropriate activities such as:
Chair Yoga
Tai Chi
Breathing Exercises
These are led by caregivers and visiting specialists to promote mobility and mood.
Enriching Therapies
Community & Family
We celebrate together—holidays, birthdays, and special events—strengthening family bonds and resident joy. Visits from children, youth groups, and volunteers foster intergenerational connections and shared happiness.
Loving Care
There’s no substitute for care that comes from the heart. We hire caregivers who are called to serve and support them with training, the right environment, and respect. Our passion is their peace.
Always Adapting
By walking beside our residents, we learn their rhythms, preferences, and personalities. This allows us to respond to each moment with compassion, creating better days—one step at a time.
