Evergreen Retirement Residence sits in a quiet part of Burbank, California, and serves seniors over 55 with more than 35 years of experience in senior care, which means folks moving in usually find both familiar faces and a warm, steady atmosphere where people get to know each other over time and settle in pretty easily, and the three-story building holds both independent living and assisted living options, as well as tailored memory care and nursing home services, so residents can stay in one place even as needs change, and the staff do a good job of supporting people who like to stay active with activities, special events, programs, outings, and transportation to local spots, so there's a lot to do, like movie nights and crafts or even outings to museums and farmers markets. The building's studios and other residences are made with safety and mobility in mind, so the rooms have things like an emergency call system, full tubs, and regular check-ins, and residents can bring their pets if they want. There are nutritious meals planned by dietitians and prepared by on-site chefs every day, and there's a menu for people to look at along with help for special diets when needed, plus room service for those who find it hard to get out. Evergreen allows for both communal daily dining and a private dining room for special get-togethers, and there's laundry every week, fresh towels, and regular housekeeping so things stay clean. People living here use lots of amenities like a beauty salon, a library, a TV lounge, a billiards lounge, an outdoor patio garden, and free Wi-Fi, and can also get to religious services whether they're on-site or off, including visits from a chaplain and a rabbi as well as Jewish services. Residents manage their own independence as much as possible, with care plans built with their participation, and can get help for daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and moving around when it gets harder to do those things alone. Health services run from medication help to on-site podiatry, optician, and dental care, plus monthly doctor visits, hospice, LVN health monitoring, and even respite care, so when things do change with health, people can stay put. Events follow the seasons with celebrations during holidays like Easter, Hanukkah, and Memorial Day, and friends or families are welcome to join those times. Transportation for outings and appointments is available, along with parking for residents and guests, and the 24-hour staff keep an eye on safety with video monitoring and a monitored call bell in each room. Evergreen offers both in-person tours and a virtual tour on their website, and they provide straightforward resources about prices, reviews, and common questions, along with a newsletter and a calendar of events so people always know what's happening around the community.
