Evergreen Valley Assisted Living

My sis went there with a lot of issues here and I know she was a handful but they have a night caregiver who makes my sister happy she says her name is [names removed] only works weekends but she says they put her at just the right space! Thank god for evergreen.

We chose this community because of the price and they were willing to work with us within our budget. It is also not too far from home and its in a shopping area so if we want to take my mom out to eat or go shopping we can do so. The room sizes are smaller, but you are able to fit two people in the room. It is just enough space. My mother does not complain about the food. I would recommend Evergreen Valley Assisted Living.

The community was clean and the providers were all very friendly. There were no openings at this time, so I will continue to look.

Facility extremely clean and facility was very friendly and informative .

The Evergreen Valley Assisted Living is a large beautiful community. The staff always seems very happy to be there. The community has many residents and always seems to be very busy. There is always a lot going on at this place.

My sister has only been there 2 weeks yet she fits right in. There is always the initial struggle of wanting to "go Home", but with their understanding she is accommodating very well. She asked for and received an opportunity to be helpful, and they have given her a simple task which makes her feel ownership.

My mother was diagnosed with delirium. She was charged a $[price removed] "entry" fee then an additional $[price removed] 1st month's rent. I'm from out of state and I was told this was the only place she could afford them she was transported. When I finally got to Baltimore and enter this group living home. Assisted living is not the appropriate title. I was mortified. Most of the residents were mentally ill or didn't speak at all. The "healthy" meals usually consisted of egg salad sandwiches and water according to my mother. Every time I entered the house, the residents were in the living room watching Bonanza reruns. EVERY time. I guess they didn't think washing my mother's hair was important....when I took her wig off, she had developed bacterial infections all over her scalp. When brushed...most of her hair fell out...She had been there for a month....my mother informed me that the nurses screamed and yelled frequently at the residents and that she loved when visitors would come because everyone was on their best behavior then. I found a place in TX and got my mother out of there. When They were discharging her, they tried to charge me an additional $[removed] just so she could LEAVE. My mother said she was never allowed to leave the house despite the "day trips" advertised.....do NOT leave your loved one here to die. I was beside myself that she had been there even a month. I had contacted the owner of the home to express my concerns and was hung up on.

Old, dreary and bad location.

I toured the building trying to find a place for my dad, and what I loved most was the friendliness of the staff. Its already a hard decision placing my dad, but the Manager made me feel at ease. Each bedroom was spotless and the home smelled clean. I have toured a few facilities and they all had a urine odor, but not this one. It felt homely and cozy. The rooms were spacious, and color coordinated. They had files for each resident. They keep records very well. I was really impressed that they had a MD & podiatrist that came every 6 weeks. Once I left the tour I felt a lot better about placing my dad. I ultimately chose Evergreen.

How can you have this review from this guy Tom say these bad things. All it takes is a bad attitude person to ruin a business. when you read all of these comments please keep an open mind. There is truth, lies, in between, hatred, jealously, disgruntled employees and also people that like to just cause problems. I feel these reviews are unfair. Evergreen valley is a great place for your love one to live at. My mother has been at this facility over five years. I have no complaints. The staff is great, they care about my mother and yes the place is old, but clean.

It's very clean and there is no smell. They seem to be doing real good for her. They seem to be bending over backwords, to help her. She is happy with the food. I think she is getting good care. They spoke to me with common sense. They gave me good feedback, they were straightforward. They will even bring in hospice. They treat her real good. When she was in the hospital, they have a social worker that works with you, and I told them I was going to check this place out, and they knew people that had been here and had no problems. They are always willing to speak with me, and work with me. I can show up anytime and they are happy to have me there.

Good Location has one in Baldwin and Cockeysville as well as Hamilton
