Evergreen Senior Living

Evergreen Senior Living sits at 801 W Gregory St in Normal, Illinois, where it's served its residents for over 50 years as the first assisted living facility in McLean County, and you'll find that the place's got options for assisted living, memory care, independent living, respite care, and home care, all supported by trained caregivers and staff. Folks get help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, preparing meals, and managing chores, plus there's 24-hour supervision and an emergency call system, so you know someone's always around to help. You'll see private apartments-studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units-some of which got kitchenettes with microwaves and little fridges, oak cabinets, big bathrooms with safety bars, and both private or shared room setups, so you can have things your way, and every apartment's got air conditioning, heating controls, cable, high-speed internet, and maintenance-free living with utilities included. There's restaurant-style dining at both Traditions Restaurant and Crossroad Café, along with guest meals, private dining rooms for family get-togethers, room service if you want to eat in your own space, and they even serve some organic foods for folks who prefer that. If you like to keep busy, you'll find all sorts of things to do, from live music, dance, and theater, to cooking classes, outings, educational speakers, lifelong learning programs, fitness classes, and happy hours, and there's also a full calendar of devotional services both on-site and off for folks who want to take part in Catholic or Protestant worship, or just quiet reflection in the chapel. Residents can enjoy the Senior Flex Fitness Center, gardening spots, outdoor relaxation areas, a library, Beauty and Barber Shop, and a community center for special events, and housekeeping and laundry services help keep things tidy and comfortable while transportation is available for shopping or doctor visits. Evergreen's pet friendly-dogs and cats can live with residents, there's resident parking, and the grounds are built for easy access with handicap-friendly features and ground floor units. The community's got strong ties to Carle Bromenn Medical Center, helping support healthcare needs, and they focus on keeping residents active, included, and comfortable, whether someone stays for just a short respite or becomes a full-time member. There's always a focus on privacy, dignity, and wellness, and though it is a larger place with plenty of different folks, staff know that everyone's needs are a little different, so they try to tailor care to the individual, whether that's in assisted living, memory care with extra safety for people who wander, or help from aides for people who choose to stay at home. All the amenities-like free Wi-Fi in common areas, private phone and cable connections, beauty services on-site, and shared indoor and outdoor gathering spaces-are there to keep daily life easy and social, and you'll find there's always something going on, from special meals to social activities to educational events, all in a natural, peaceful setting in Normal.
