Evergreen Place sits in Manchester's North End and has stood in the community since 1904, making it one of the older and more established senior living homes around, and over the years it's seen a lot, with additions like four-story wings and solariums to make room for more people while keeping a homey feel, and you'll notice it has a small, close-knit family atmosphere, where the compassionate staff, some of whom go by names like Jasmine Gosselin as Administrator, Natalie Gagnon as Bookkeeper, and Shannon Croteau as Business Office/HR Manager, know residents by name and work together to keep everything running smoothly. This place has a strong history with the Order of Masons, starting out to give care to widows, orphans of Masons, and later to Masons themselves and their loved ones, but nowadays everyone from the community can live here, and the nonprofit status means the focus stays on residents instead of profit.
With 52 beds, Evergreen Place offers a mix of housing, from studio apartments and single rooms to semi-private and two-bedroom units, all arranged to suit different needs and make things easier for everybody, and the all-inclusive pricing means meals, housekeeping, maintenance, transportation, laundry, and utilities are included, which simplifies life. The landscaped outdoor patios and gardens give residents a nice spot to enjoy some fresh air or chat with visitors, and there are indoor spaces like the library, parlor, and an on-site barber for haircuts, so daily tasks and some comforts are close at hand.
The care team here is available all day and night and includes licensed staff, skilled nurses, and therapists-so residents are able to get physical therapy, occupational therapy, medication management, and help with daily activities as needed, which seems to cover the basics whether someone needs retirement care, assisted living, nursing care, Alzheimer's and memory care, or even independent living options. Evergreen Place also has short-term respite care for up to 21 days, so families who need extra help can rely on that too.
Meals are home-cooked and nutritious, with menus built to please a wide range of tastes, and the memory care covers basic needs so folks with Alzheimer's or other conditions get support. Evergreen Place also hosts in-house religious services, regular social events, outings, and activities, so residents can stay as engaged as they like, and the free transportation brings residents to offsite events or appointments when needed.
Pets are allowed under certain conditions, which brings comfort to those who want animal companionship, and the facility handles linen and clothes laundry plus dry cleaning on-site, so families don't have to worry. Evergreen Place is licensed by the state, supported by a nonprofit foundation, and offers supported assisted living as well as a continuing care retirement resource-it's built around values like respect, love, relief, and charity, and everything about the place from the home-cooked meals to the attentive care and scheduled activities seems to reflect that.
