The community's mission focuses on promoting independence while ensuring that every resident experiences an enhanced quality of life, rooted in compassion, dignity, and respect.
This unique senior living community offers a full continuum of services, encompassing assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing.

The Lodge is located on the village campus and is seamlessly connected to the adjacent memory care community, The Inn at Evenglow. Together, these facilities create a supportive environment ensuring specialized care and vibrant daily living for residents requiring diverse levels of assistance. Additionally, residents can access rehabilitation and skilled care services at the dedicated Tjardes Health Center, reinforcing Evenglow’s commitment to covering every stage of senior living.
A distinctive hallmark of Evenglow is its deeply held values, reflected in the daily expressions of care and kindness demonstrated by its staff. Residents are welcomed into a community where the foundation is built on faith, and Christ's love is enacted through everyday service. This creates a warm, nurturing atmosphere that is consistently noted for its devotion to residents’ well-being, comfort, and fulfillment.
Evenglow’s location is also a point of pride, with the main campus conveniently positioned in downtown Pontiac. The village campus on Indiana Avenue hosts both The Lodge and The Inn at Evenglow, providing easy access to services and a sense of community among residents. Regular events and activities, such as the 18-hole golf outing at The Oaks at River’s Edge, enrich community spirit and provide opportunities for engagement and support of the Secure Living Fund, which helps residents continue living in the homes they love.
