Evergreen Cottages has three small homes in Katy, Texas, called Jasmine Cottage, Magnolia Cottage, and Bridgewater Cottage, and each one is designed with seniors' needs in mind, especially for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, so folks living there get care from nurses and caregivers who know how to support memory issues, and the staff stays on site all day and night so someone's always there to help. Each cottage is secure with a locked entry, alarm bracelets for residents who might wander, and a "Never Lost" design that helps everyone move about without getting too far turned around, and the cottages stay safe with features like a sprinkler system, security measures in every building, and rooms that are wheelchair friendly, plus air conditioning and lots of natural sunlight from big windows and sun tunnels, and the beds-there are 16 in each home-are available as private or semi-private rooms, with private baths and ADA-accessible showers. Folks get to bring their own furniture if they want, but Evergreen can provide some if needed.
There's a focus on routines that make people feel safe and at ease, so every day residents get three home-cooked meals-which the cook makes fresh in the kitchen-with options for gluten-free, low salt, vegan, vegetarian, diabetic-friendly, halal, kosher, dairy-free, allergy-aware, and organic diets, and there are snacks and drinks available around the clock to keep everyone nourished. Housekeepers come daily, folks get help with laundry, and staff provide full support with bathing, dressing, bathroom use, managing medicines, and even helping with diabetes and incontinence care, and special lifts are ready for anyone who needs help moving. Personal care assistants stay with the same few residents for more one-on-one support, and nurses with dementia and Alzheimer's training keep watch over care plans, medicine, and any medical injections or tests that come up.
Groups are small so everyone knows each other, and every cottage runs regular events, family gatherings, and pet visits, and you'll often find people playing trivia, watching movies, doing arts and crafts, trying karaoke, or cooking together in a club, and there are programs for yoga, Tai Chi, brain fitness, chair exercises, gardening, intergenerational visits, and even pet-centered activities for those who have cats or dogs. There's personal space for each resident, along with indoor and outdoor commons, secured gardens, activity rooms, and a piano for music therapy, and the facility has a fitness center, salon, and a library for quiet time or reading.
Care plans get updated as needed and folks can stay if their health needs change, whether someone wants independent living, needs daily help, or needs memory care for dementia, Alzheimer's, or Parkinson's, and Evergreen Cottages can care for seniors who might be at risk of wandering, escaping, showing difficult behavior, or needing help with behavioral problems, all in a safe community that tries to feel homey and calm. The laundry system uses ozonation to cut out harsh chemicals for folks with allergies, and everything stays clean and well-kept. Religious services happen on-site every week. Nurses are always available and doctors can visit when needed, so medical oversight stays close by. The homes sit near shops, movie theaters, and medical offices, with highway access for families coming to visit or run errands.
The community works hard to make life comfortable with things like Wi-Fi, cable TV, private or semi-private rooms, regular housekeeping, a strong activities calendar, and staff who support independence as much as possible but always step in where help's needed. The all-inclusive pricing covers meals, laundry, personal care, and activities, with a one-time move-in fee, and monthly rent varies if a person wants a private or shared room, making it simple for families to plan for care costs. Each day, staff look for ways to make residents feel respected, safe, and loved so everyone can live with peace of mind, comfort, and a sense of belonging.
