Evergreen Residential Care sits over on 1612 Evergreen Street in Charleston, South Carolina, right in the West Ashley neighborhood, with plenty of space since the building stretches over 2,000 square feet, and there's an expansive fenced yard that gives folks a quiet bit of privacy, and you can park off the street, though there's no garage. This property is what some call a handyman special, meaning the place could use a bit of work in spots, especially since the bathrooms have been gutted but still have working plumbing, so someone who wants to renovate or customize things has options there, and even though the house itself was built in 1957, the roof's less than five years old and the exterior got a fresh coat of paint within the past year, so recent care's been put in. It's a single-family detached home, and while there's three bedrooms on the main side, the facility also includes three large rooms meant for residents, since this was once an assisted living home and has served that purpose for a stretch.
Evergreen offers a place for folks who need assisted living and board and care home services, and the facility carries eight assisted living units, giving a sense of both privacy and community, with choices like one-bedroom spaces, equipped studios, and shared areas for those who like to have folks nearby. Staff provide support all day and all night since the premises are secured around the clock, and care includes things like bathing, dressing, help for incontinence, and support with medication, while the team also handles individualized service assessments and personalized dining assistance, including meals planned by dietitians three times per day, with dining options for allergies and diabetes.
The community supports seniors with dementia and offers short-term or respite care options for families, while extra help like home health care, transportation, and daily activities-from movie nights to community socials-gets folks interacting and moving around, plus there's a fitness center, walking paths, garden, chapel, on-site pharmacy, massage therapy, beauty and barber shop, and high-definition TVs for entertainment, so residents aren't left with nothing to do. Wellness programs, individualized care plans, emergency response systems, laundry, and housekeeping take care of basics while regular coordination with healthcare providers helps address medical needs as they come up.
Evergreen uses furnished rooms with telephones, keeps a garden and community spaces for gatherings, and tries to make the environment safe and supportive for seniors, whether a person only needs a little assistance or more detailed help with daily living. The facility has a community score of 3.8 on Seniorly's rating system, showing it meets most people's needs without pretending to be perfect. Prospective families can use the facility's online tools to search for other listings, request more information, or stay updated if something changes-so everything's kept simple and easy to navigate for anyone thinking about a move.
