Key Review Excerpts
“My husband has slowly advancing Alzheimer’s Disease and has been a permanent resident at Evergreen Community of Johnson County for a little over a year. I’m a retired ICU RN so am very picky about his healthcare and how it is managed and delivered. Evergreen Community has met or exceeded my expectations in every way.”
“Their approach to the 'residents' living in their 'neighborhoods' (not 'patients' in 'rooms' on 'wings') is unmatched as is the care of their skilled nursing and hospice teams. My mom had as much autonomy as they could give her through to the end.”
“I visited daily and noticed his clothes and room were always clean. In fact, when I brought visitors with me, they were always surprised that it didn’t smell like a nursing home. There was never a time I was there that staff was idle or unavailable if we needed help.”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
