Evonnes Residential Care Facility II sat close to public transit, so folks could get around easily, and they always had complimentary transportation and resident parking, which made things simple for visitors too, and then there was a security gate and a wander guard system for safety, which mattered to a lot of families. The place wasn't huge, with a capacity for just six residents, so everything felt more personal, and people could pick from detached homes, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, studio apartments, townhomes, or condos, plus rooms had wheelchair accessible showers, baths, tubs, and short-term stays were an option for respite. They let folks have their dogs or cats, and the grounds had both indoor and outdoor common areas, including some nice touches like an indoor atrium, raised garden beds, a check outside patio, and courtyards, and they even named their gardens-the Butterfly Garden and Hummingbird Garden-so that was a fun detail, and residents could enjoy the fresh air on walking paths too.
The staff spoke a good range of languages-English, Chinese, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Russian, Tagalog, Croatian, Armenian, Farsi, Hungarian, Hindi, Ukrainian, Japanese, Dutch, German, Vietnamese, and Arabic-which helped some families feel more at home. The facility did assisted living, memory care, hospice care, and respite care, so people had options if their needs changed, and they offered help with the basics like daily activities, personal care, medication management, and meals, even things like incontinence care, diabetic care, and non-ambulatory care, plus nurses and ancillary staff were on hand and physical therapy was available too. If someone liked to keep busy, they had community spaces for activities, a fitness center, a movie room, library, game room, woodworking shop, computer center, arts and crafts, a ballroom, and there was a beauty salon and barber shop so getting a haircut or a bit of pampering was right on site. Folks had different meal options-including vegetarian and kosher-and meals could be shared or even enjoyed in a private dining room if someone wanted that for a special occasion.
The community held devotional activities on-site for those who wanted that, and they had services to help with errands like grocery shopping, plus housekeeping was allowed in private rooms. The property first got licensed on June 13, 2019, and during its time open, it had five state visits, just one inspection and four others, and never had a complaint visit, so by state records, nothing rose to worry. While Evonnes Residential Care Facility II is currently closed, people may remember it as a place with a small, close-knit feeling, rooms of different sizes, and lots of languages and personal touches, with spaces like the Butterfly and Hummingbird Gardens helping it stand out a bit for those that lived there.
