Annual Fund Drive 2019 Posted: Fri, 12/06/2019 - 8:36am
 In order to continue our mission to provide the best person-centered, long-term care possible to individuals living at Evergreen Community, regardless of their resources, we rely on the generosity of individuals like you. Your contributions help us enhance the lives of those we serve. Our promise to you is we will always ensure your financial support directly impacts individuals living at Evergreen through services and enhancements that contribute to a more meaningful life.This year we are raising funds to purchase seven Smart TVs to bring the gift of streaming entertainment to more individuals living at Evergreen Community. We strive to create a warm, inviting family atmosphere at Evergreen. Streaming shows, movies, and music creates an opportunity for residents to gather when they choose, be entertained, and enjoy each other’s company. These gatherings strengthen the sense of community and enhance people’s social interactions and quality of life.
“Smart TVs add some nice features, like a bigger screen that’s easier to see and better quality sound. With the next generation beginning to enter the long-term care setting, they are interested in utilizing the Smart TV independently and the icons are easier to navigate. The Smart TV will enable all Evergreen residents to watch an endless selection of their favorite TV shows, movies, sports, documentaries, etc., as well as listen to music.” -Justine Ogdon, Director of Life Enhancement
At Evergreen, we serve individuals 365 days a year in their home with dignity and respect. It is always a balancing act due to nominal Medicaid reimbursement rates and rising supply, equipment, and wage costs. The purchase of seven Smart TVs will positively impact individuals living at Evergreen. However, it will only be successful if we can raise the necessary $3,500 through individual donors like you.

KC ELDER LAW WORKSHOPHow to get Medicaid coverage for our assisted living or nursing home care ... without selling your home or leaving your fmaily without a dime!Olathe, KS - One of the biggest fears that many people have today is the fear of having their life savings wiped out if they end up in a nursing home. What a shame to see someone's life savings of 30, 40, or 50 years wiped out in a matter of months. Whether you or a family member is in a crisis or not, it is important that you understand what you can do to protect your hard-earned assets! Most of the public does not yet realize that the laws on asset protection and long-term care planning have changed. It is extremely important that you know about these changes and how they may affect your long-term care planning! A brand new, free informational workshop hosted by local Elder Law Attorney, William G. Hammond with KC Elder Law, will be held: Tuesday, September 24, 2019, 6pm - 7pm
At this meeting, here is some of what you will discover:
