Family-Like Atmosphere

We truly feel like an extension of your family.

Our home is family-owned and operated by caregivers themselves.

Owners Laura and Alex live nearby, so you’ll see them at meals and activities. This personal touch means our staff genuinely care about each resident as an individual.

Birthdays and anniversaries are celebrated with cakes and photos; evenings might end with a family photo slideshow. Residents and staff do chores and fun things together – cooking, games, even birthday parties.

The result is a warm, family-like atmosphere where seniors are comfortable and loved.

Around-the-Clock Care

We provide 24-hour supervision and care.

Day or night, a trained team member is always nearby, so residents never face an emergency alone. Because of our small size (6 beds), staffing is high: often a ratio of one caregiver for every 2 residents.

This means even at midnight someone is checking in. Fall alerts and call buttons are within reach in every room, and our on-call nurse is available if needed.

Families in Kent appreciate knowing their loved one has help whenever it’s needed – even on a holiday or late night.

Help with Bathing, Dressing, Grooming

Our caregivers assist with all personal care tasks.

We help with bathing, shaving, hair care, dressing and grooming every day. Our aides are gentle and respectful, ensuring privacy and dignity.

Whether your parent needs complete help in the shower or just some reminders, we tailor assistance to their level of need.

Morning routines and bedtime routines at Evergreen come with as much or as little support as required, so residents feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day.

Community and Spiritual Care

Many of our residents draw comfort from faith and community.

We support spiritual routines by providing transportation to church services or prayer meetings, and we occasionally host guest speakers or music programs.

This spiritual care adds to the sense of belonging and comfort. By nurturing mind, body and spirit, we ensure life here is full and balanced.

Cooking Together in the Kitchen

Residents often help out in the kitchen to the degree they can. They might measure ingredients for baking cookies or stir a pot for soup.

Cooking together is not only fun—it engages memories and fine motor skills.

Fresh-baked goods and meals often find their way to dinner or snack time.

Sharing food preparation also strengthens bonds; even small tasks like choosing cookie toppings can brighten someone’s day.

These joint kitchen moments make our Kent home feel truly family-oriented, with homey aromas and shared smiles.

Clean, Safe & Welcoming Environment

Our priority is a safe, clean home. We run daily housekeeping and laundry to keep rooms spotless and germs at bay. Every corner is wheelchair-accessible and has emergency features: fall sensors, smoke alarms, and a backup generator for power outages.

Because of our small size, staff notices any maintenance or safety issue immediately. Families often comment on how bright and tidy our facility is – everything is made to feel warm and home-like, not institutional.

This attention to detail gives peace of mind that your loved one is in a healthy, hazard-free setting.

Why We’re Different from a Large Facility

Unlike big assisted-living institutions, Evergreen Wellness AFH is a small home where your loved one isn’t just a number.

Our caregivers are also the owners, so your family will see the same friendly faces every day. We truly feel like an extended family. Meals are home-cooked and eaten at a common table, not a cafeteria.

This consistency means more trust and understanding with each resident. In short, our intimate 6-bed setting provides a cozy, one-on-one care experience that large facilities can’t match.

Fall Prevention at Evergreen

Preventing falls is a top priority for us.
Our home is equipped with fall sensors and grab bars, and wheelchairs or walkers are used as needed.

Caregivers always supervise when residents move around. We also do regular check-ups on seniors’ stability and make sure beds are at the right height. Thanks to these measures, and our high staff-to-resident ratio, falls are minimized.

If a loved one has fallen at home, an adult family home like ours can provide a safer environment where continuous assistance greatly reduces that risk.

Short-Term & Respite Stays

Yes, we welcome short stays at Evergreen Wellness AFH.

Some families arrange respite visits for a few weeks if they need a break or to test out the setting.

When a private room is available, we provide the same 24/7 care and activities even for temporary residents.

Short stays are a good way to see if our home is the right fit for your loved one. Rest assured, even on a short-term basis, every resident receives full attention, personal care, and participation in our daily life.

Arts & Crafts Afternoon

Creativity is encouraged here!
Residents join in our arts & crafts session. Whether it’s painting watercolors, making greeting cards, or simple crafts with beads and yarn, engaging in art is both fun and therapeutic.

These activities keep hands agile and minds active, and everyone loves showing off the artwork. Art time also sparks conversation – residents share stories behind their creations.

Expressive activities like these are a simple way to promote joy and meaning every day.

Professional Medication Management

Managing pills can be complex. At Evergreen Wellness AFH, we handle all medications for our residents.

A licensed nurse or trained caregiver supervises the medicine cabinet: we keep a strict schedule, double-check doses, and ensure timely refills.

This means no one misses doses or mixes up medicines.

Families rest easier knowing our 24/7 staff will administer medications safely, as needed.

Whether it’s daily vitamins or special prescriptions, medication management is one of our core services to keep Kent seniors healthy.

Signs Your Loved One Needs Extra Care

Keep an eye out for warning signs at home. If your parent is forgetting medications, having trouble with personal care, or falling, they may need extra support. For example, difficulties with cooking or keeping up the house can signal it’s time to consider a care home.

At Evergreen Wellness AFH in Kent, we often hear from families who noticed Mom was unsafe alone. Moving to our home ensured she gets help with daily tasks (like bathing and dressing) and social interaction.

Early steps – like a trial stay – can help everyone decide. We’re here to answer questions and discuss options as needs change.

Afternoon Tea on the Patio

On warm afternoons, residents love having tea or lemonade on the patio. Our shaded outdoor area, complete with raised garden beds, is ideal for enjoying nature and chatting.

A caregiver might wheel a resident outside, and together we take in the flowers and sunshine. This quiet time — a cool drink on the porch — provides a nice break in the day.

It’s these little moments of normalcy and tranquility that help seniors relax and feel cared for in a homelike environment.

Compassionate End-of-Life Care

Evergreen Wellness AFH provides hospice and end-of-life care with dignity.

As one family shared, “The owners go above and beyond to ensure comfort during her time in hospice care”. We coordinate with hospice nurses and doctors for pain management and comfort measures, while our caregivers stay by your loved one’s side around the clock.

Our focus is always on peace and quality of life – gentle companionship, soothing music, family visits – in our homelike setting.

In your most difficult moments, we’re here to support both the resident and their family with compassion and respect.
