The people who work here are the heart of everything. Many team members have been here for years, building real relationships with residents and with each other. What keeps them here is not just a job. It is a culture built on kindness, mutual respect, and the shared belief that working in someone’s home is a privilege worth taking seriously.

Great care starts with people who show up for it every day, not because it is required but because it is who they are. At Evergreen, the standard for hiring is simple. We look for individuals with a positive attitude, a heart for others, and the instinct to look for ways to say yes before reaching for reasons to say no. Clinical skills can be taught. That kind of character is what makes someone a real fit here.
If you want to spend your days doing work that actually changes people’s lives, this is the place to do it.

Respect Is Felt in Everything We Do
Our team is reminded regularly that they are working in our residents’ homes, not the other way around. That mindset shapes everything, from how care is delivered to how staff treat each other. It creates a workplace where people feel proud of what they do and how they do it. Support is built into how this team operates.
Room to Grow
Evergreen is a place where ambition is recognized and supported. Whether you are looking to build on your current skills or move into a new role over time, leadership here pays attention and invests in the people who show up and give their best.
Leadership That Has Your Back
The leadership team at Evergreen leads with encouragement, not pressure. Questions are always welcome. Support is always close by. And every team member, regardless of their role, is treated with the same respect we expect them to extend to our residents.

The environment you work in shapes the kind of work you do. At Evergreen, the team looks out for each other, the culture is warm, and the people around you are invested in seeing you do well. That is not an accident. It is the result of hiring people who care and then treating them well.
During CNA Week, the leadership team spent an entire week showing up for staff in different ways every single day. Meals, games, ice cream, gift cards, and personalized poems written using each staff member’s name, because the leadership team wanted every person to feel seen. That is the kind of place Evergreen is.
“Working here reminds me what is truly important in life and helps me slow down and appreciate the small things. It is such a gift to get to know the residents and hear their stories. They have so many life lessons to share and I feel lucky to learn from them every day.”
We can talk about the supportive team and the work that matters. But the thing staff mention most is the moment a resident’s face lights up when they walk into the room. Team members who have been here for years say it still catches them off guard sometimes, in the best way.
Residents here are not names on a chart. You will know their stories, their routines, and what makes them laugh. Those connections are what people mean when they say this job is different from any other they have had.
From your first day, you will be surrounded by teammates who want to see you do well. Help is always close by, and no one is ever left to figure things out on their own.
Knowing your work matters is one thing. Watching a resident’s face change the moment you walk into the room is another. That is the difference between a job and this job. At Evergreen, those moments happen constantly, and they are the reason our team keeps showing up.
