Evergreen Crossings in South Windsor, CT offers an independent-living program designed for older adults who can manage most daily tasks on their own but want the security of having health resources close at hand. Residents wear or have access to an in-room emergency response system that is monitored around the clock, and licensed nurses are on site during scheduled hours each day to perform wellness checks, oversee medication reminders and coordinate with outside physicians. If a resident’s care needs change, staff facilitate referrals to local home-health or rehabilitation providers and help arrange transportation for off-site medical appointments.

Additional support services focus on keeping residents active and safe without compromising their autonomy. The wellness director tracks vital signs and health goals, schedules fitness classes aimed at balance and fall prevention, and organizes educational sessions on chronic-disease management. A concierge desk can set up lab draws, imaging appointments and pharmacy deliveries. Scheduled transportation is available for routine doctor visits, and the maintenance team performs safety inspections in each apartment to reduce tripping hazards and ensure emergency equipment is working.

Apartments range from studios to two-bedroom layouts. Every unit includes a private bathroom, basic kitchen or kitchenette, individual climate control, emergency pull cords and weekly housekeeping. Select floor plans add features such as in-unit laundry machines, patios or additional storage, but not all accommodations have all the features. Residents may bring their own furnishings, and maintenance staff handle repairs as part of the monthly fee.

Meals are served three times a day in a central dining room, with menus developed by a culinary team in consultation with a registered dietitian to accommodate common dietary restrictions such as low-sodium or diabetic options. Residents choose from multiple entrées at each meal, and snacks are available throughout the day. Room service can be arranged for short-term illness, and a private dining area can be reserved for family gatherings, though these options are offered on a first-come, first-served basis and are not available to every resident at all times.
