EverGreen Commons Rehabilitation and Nursing Center sits at 1070 Luther Rd in East Greenbush, New York, where you'll find it surrounded by landscaped park-like grounds with walking paths and even a playground for young visitors, so folks can enjoy their time outdoors or just watch the seasons pass if that's what they like. The facility has 240 licensed beds and provides both short-term rehabilitation and long-term skilled nursing care, so people can recover after an illness or surgery or stay longer if they need more help with daily living. There's a secure care unit for those who need an Alzheimer's or dementia program, and trained nurses and healthcare professionals are on staff to manage specialized care and support, while housekeepers and a laundry director keep things clean, so everyone's comfortable.
Staff members often get recognized for being helpful, joyful, and kind, which can make EverGreen Commons feel welcoming and friendly, almost like a small community of its own, and there's a focus on both physical and mental health, since emotional well-being matters just as much as medical needs, so activities and recreation therapy are a daily part of life here. The place also offers various therapies, including physical therapy and pet therapy, to help with recovery and brighten up the day, and there's restaurant-style dining where nutritious meals are made from good ingredients, with therapeutic diets available when someone needs something special, and guest and family visits are welcome.
Respite care is offered for caregivers who need a break, and there are resident and guest services, which include laundry and housekeeping, all taken care of by the professional team. EverGreen Commons is privately owned and has been a member of the Rensselaer County Regional Chamber of Commerce since 2016. The community scores 3.7 based on 37 reviews, and 89% of those are five stars, so most people seem pretty satisfied, though like anywhere, not everything is for everyone. The place is managed by Emily Giordano and continues to provide a range of inpatient health care and rehab programs-physical, social, emotional, and spiritual-because everyone's needs change as time goes on, and it's important that a place like this tries to meet those needs as best it can.
