Evergreen Health and Rehabilitation Center sits over on Moran Lake Road NE in Rome, Georgia, and you'll find a wide range of services here, since it's a Continuing Care Retirement Community, so folks can get independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, long-term care, respite care, and even home care, all in one place, which can be helpful especially for couples needing different levels of care or for those expecting their needs to change over time. The center accepts both Medicaid and Medicare, which helps families with different financial needs, and you'll see Evergreen offers shared and private rooms with kitchenettes and private bathrooms, cable TV, air conditioning, telephone services, and Wi-Fi. Daily life includes housekeeping, laundry, transportation, and parking, which takes some of the chores off people's plates, and there's a library, arts and music rooms, a game room, activity room, and even a real movie theater, plus a spa and wellness room in the mix. Outdoors, there are gardens, walking paths, and common spaces where folks can get some fresh air or enjoy outdoor programs. The dining's restaurant-style with a professional chef preparing meals each day, and they're set up to handle special dietary needs like allergy-sensitive and diabetic-friendly meals.
Evergreen has a schedule full of activities, with resident-run clubs, community-sponsored events, daily outings, movement classes, and movie nights, which helps people keep active and social, and a move-in coordinator makes the transition smoother. The place provides 12-16 hour nursing services each day, with 24-hour supervision and a robust call system for safety, and the staff includes geriatric nursing specialists, an interdisciplinary team of registered nurses, therapists, and certified pros who work together on customized care plans through regular "Plan of Care" meetings. Residents get help with things like medication management, bathing, dressing, transfers, and diabetes management is part of the health services. The skilled rehab department offers restorative therapies seven days a week, with programs made to help each person stay engaged and independent, and they use both progressive technology and fundamental rehab techniques, all under protocols set by local and state health departments and the CDC. The facility is secure, and there's special non-ambulatory care for those with limited mobility.
Evergreen Health and Rehabilitation Center has 139 certified beds with an average of 89 residents daily, managed by Lisa Landers and Prince Equities LLC since March 2019, and owned 100% by Prince Equities LLC, and with a nurse turnover rate at 30%-which is lower than the Georgia average-and nurse hours per resident per day coming in just above the state average, care tends to be steady. The center invites new residents or visitors to schedule tours. As a for-profit nursing home, Evergreen has had some deficiencies noted in its inspection reports-such as gaps in providing safe and appropriate respiratory care, care planning, infection control, and resident assessment-so that's worth knowing, but the facility does make efforts to follow required health and safety standards, and they aim for patient-centered, well-coordinated care. The center continues to offer memory care and skilled nursing, and focuses on giving each person a chance at a comfortable, safe, and active life.
