Evergreen Crossings Retirement Community

This is a wonderful place to live with a wonderful staff to work with. I saw 4 places, and there were far among best at 5, and the others were at best 4 of the over three, and were fine places. I am very happy evergreen crossing.

The staff gets familiar with the residents and their families in a very positive way. They are very accessible and accommodating. They tried to provide a variety of activities that encourage the residents to become friends with each other rather than just each enjoying the activities independently.

All fives except for activities and value for cost. The activities are great but they are based on residents that are older. It would be nice to have evening events as well, Many other things residents would like to participate in are based on the South Windsor senior center which is less than 5 miles away. We are told that it's not possible to schedule an event "per corporate; using the 12 seat van assigned to this facility . These events are all close by; little theater events, simulcast events from New York, a simple hike, etc. A modification concerning this matter would be appreciated. And concerning price; we are told that our facility is at capacity. Logically this could result in price cuts for all residents, or at least a future reduction in the cost of living rent increases. Something to think about as we receive mailings from the competitors. The short answer is that many of us feel the price is too high.

Great place thank you for the recommendation. Yes, if you like being involved this is the place. Some people hibernate but that is their chose.

We moved my 90 year old father there last summer. My mother in law was already living there so we knew what to expect. For the most part, my father enjoyed his time there, unfortunately he recently passed and didn't get to enjoy it for as long as we hoped. While there he did make some new friends, but he also ran into some old acquaintances from his life in East Hartford which was a pleasant surprise. Evergreen Crossing is a nice community with friendly residents. The food is good and the Management and team are super responsive. I will miss going there to visit.

Not much to say, it is a very social, community environment. My 92 yr. old father is there. His opinion too, is very positive. There is a “General Store” that is cute, yet well fortified. They are also associated with a pharmacy that will deliver prescriptions. Nice theater Exercise room Food: it’s not bad, but their supplier is Sysco. So, take that for what it’s worth. If you are reading this and are unfamiliar with the food service business, well, Sysco does not reach too far up the bell curve. The facility’s people are top notch and I’m sure the expenses of running such a facility are enormous. The kitchen staff really care and must consider many diets and needs in this community. Maybe I’m a food snob. Sysco’s best is probably what they buy, sincerely.

My parents have lived here for 2 years and love it. The community is very friendly and everyone looks out for one another. The rhe staff is very helpful and friendly and the food is very good. They have a lot of activities for the residents to do. I highly recommend this community to 55 an older people.

We have only been at Evergreen for a short time. Our experience to date at this facility has been very good. Our interactions with all staff members has been excellent. This leads us to believe that all other aspects of senior living here will be to our liking.

We have lived here for 3 years and are happy we made this choice. The move from our home to Evergreem Crossings was an easy choice although the actual move was emotionally and physically tiring but in hind sight was worth it, especially with the support of our family. Evergreen Crossings is ideal for a number of reasons: there are a number of choices of living apartments, generally 1100 -1300 sf. Most visitors are pleasantly surprised with the spaciousness of the apartments. Three delicious meals a day are a challenge for the weight conscious, as they are so good with a wide variety of choices. Activities are numerous each day, both in house and day trips. Our location in South Windsor is a real plus! However, the most intangible asset of EC is the warmth and friendliness of the staff and our friends here! Management and staff are visible and available each day, willing to listen and adjust when necessary. We have quickly developed new friends that are supportive on a daily basis.

Positives: Plenty of food choices Quiet / soundproofed apartments Pleasant staff Responsive when there’s an issue Nice-sized apartments with good storage Lots of activities and entertainment options Nice-sized parking spaces Cons: Housekeeping is mostly good, but could be better Interior public spaces / hallway decor is busy and doesn’t match the geographic area (e.g., looks like Arizona even though the building is in New England)

I have worked as a caregiver in this community for over 2 years. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The apartments are beautiful. So close to shopping, plenty of places to walk. Transportation is available and there are many opportunities to participate in various activities. Highly recommended!

We looked at 7 other similar facilities in the Hartford area and this is by far the best fit. We moved in the day it opened and absolutely know that we made the right decision. We brag to our friends how much we love this place.

I like the staff! I have only been here a little over a month. So for me, I feel like I've gone away to "grownup camp!" Which I think is a fun way to look at it. [name removed] , the sales person, is sharp. She has all the answers and she seems to genuinely want what's best for each person she meets, whether that means a new resident or not. The concierge team, headed by [name removed] are very kind, knowledgeable and fun. The Managers are new, very likable and other residents have said that they are a positive change. But what makes this place is the residents, as a group, I think they appear to be happier and more welcoming than the residents I saw at another location. Housekeeping appears to be fine. I came here after two months of hospital care, the food is 100% better than that! I am pleased with the quality and availability of the food, I do miss home cooking. I would recommend Evergreen Crossings to anyone looking for Independent Senior Living.

The food is AMAZING - they are chef prepared meals. They hired a chef that used to work at a local restaurant that is very good. One of the best things that if mom has any visitors, if they want to eat it is only $5 during the week and $10 during the weekends The facility is very moderns and does not feel like a nursing home at all. The apartments are new, modern and very nice as well. They have a washer and dryer in the units which is a big plus. It is around a lot of thing so the location is great. They have a lot of really great activities provided for the residents too. I would highly recommend Evergreen Crossings to others.

It's a perfect match for independent living.

This is a great place and I would encourage you to go here if you can afford it. The atmosphere, food, and cleanliness make this is a great place. The staff are very helpful and willing to answer my questions.

This community is like a resort. The other places I looked at had a feeling that felt a little institutional rather than a home and here I feel like I am at home. The only thing missing from being a resort is the swimming pool everything else is here and ready.
