“After my dad died, we discovered my mother 

couldn’t live on her own,” Evelyn says, explaining

that Martin Erdozain’s devoted care of his wife,

 Julia, had masked

from the rest of 

the family the

progression of her 

dementia. “Hehad been covering

up for her … we

hadn’t realized

the extent of her 

decline.”

Once widowed,

it became obvious,

for medical and

security reasons,

“she needed

someone with her around-the-clock.”

Evelyn Woods was grieving her

father’s death when a dismayingrealization deepened her sorrow.

‘Memory care neighborhood’ fosters

 well-lived life for Alzheimer’s patients

Joan Mehaffey and her son, Rick, enjoy bird-watching at Evergreen Place’s indoor aviary.

 Julia gets that – and so much more – at

Evergreen Place. Specifically designed for those

 with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias,

this “memory care

neighborhood”

provides long-term

residential as well

as short-term respiteand rehabilitative

services. Safely 

nestled within

Rolling Green

 Village, is part of a

continuum of care

for seniors. Rolling

Green Village’s 175-

acre campus also

comprises a variety 

of independentliving residences,

assisted living and skilled nursing services.

“The Evergreen staff is very caring,” says Evelyn of 

the interdisciplinary team committed to providing her 

mother a dignified, meaningful life. “I’m pleased with

the way they care for her, take notes, and come up

 with ways to keep her active and viable. They give her 

the freedom to do the things that still make her happy.

 They understand what makes my mom who she is.”

Unique by DesignMemory disorders are complex, sensory-

oriented conditions that create specific safety and

communication challenges. Everyone who works at

Evergreen Place – from the medical personnel, to

the activity coordinators, to the on-site beautician

– has the expertise to handle such challenges with

sensitivity and compassion. A registered nurse is

on site seven days a week, and the high staff-to-

resident ratio allows for customized care plans alongcontinued on page 2
