Evergreen Senior Living – Orland Park delivers three levels of support—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and secure Memory Care—with clinical resources sized for residents who require more than routine oversight. Care teams are prepared for situations involving wandering behaviors during the day or night, elopement risk, challenging behaviors, and the complexities of advanced dementia. Licensed staff monitor wound care protocols, administer oxygen therapy, and manage diabetes whether the regimen involves oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale dosing. The community also accepts adults under the age of 60 when appropriate.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on-site around the clock, complemented by an awake night shift and a call-system that reaches staff via room pull cords and personal emergency response pendants. Background-checked caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and can help with walker or wheelchair mobility, standby support, or a one-person transfer. Doors are alarmed for added security, and 24-hour staffing is supplemented by scheduled podiatry visits and an activity director who adapts programs to each resident’s care plan.
Residences range in layout and features; some include a private bathroom, a kitchenette for light meal prep, individual heating and cooling controls, and cable service. Because floor plans vary, not every unit contains every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specifics during a tour.
Meals follow a set menu that emphasizes consistency and ease of dietary management, particularly important for residents with diabetes or other medical considerations. Snacks are available between meals, and staff can provide full dining assistance when needed to ensure adequate nutrition and hydration.
Residents have access to on-site parking, outside smoking areas, and wheelchair-friendly common spaces. Amenities include a barber/beauty shop, exercise room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, a café, chef-prepared meals, the Senior Flex Fitness Center, The Renew Day Spa, The One-Stop Shoppe, a library, the Critic’s Reel Theater, landscaped walking paths with a fire pit and gazebo, and Legends Pub. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach appointments and local outings. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
