Evergreen Community of Johnson County operates as a nursing home, providing 24-hour skilled nursing care designed for residents who require continuous medical supervision. Licensed nurses oversee medication administration, wound treatment, catheter care, and chronic disease monitoring. On-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy services help residents maintain or regain functional abilities after illness, injury, or surgery. The facility collaborates with attending physicians to adjust care plans and manages routine laboratory work, imaging appointments, and pharmacy coordination. An on-call medical director and access to emergency services reinforce the facility’s ability to respond quickly to health changes.
Beyond the core medical services, Evergreen Community of Johnson County offers care features that support daily living and overall well-being. Certified nursing assistants assist with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and mobility transfers. Regular care conferences involve residents, families, and interdisciplinary team members to keep goals aligned and ensure continuity. Scheduled transportation is available for off-site medical appointments, and an electronic health record system tracks progress and ensures accurate documentation. Social workers provide discharge planning and connect residents to community resources, while therapeutic recreation staff organize structured activities to promote cognitive engagement and social interaction.
Resident accommodations include a selection of private and semi-private rooms equipped with a phone, enabling residents to stay in contact with family and health providers. Rooms are designed for accessibility with features such as wide doorways, adjustable beds, and handrails in bathrooms, though not every room contains each of these elements. Housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are provided, and residents can personalize their living space with small items and decorations to create a comfortable environment.
Dining services emphasize nutrition that aligns with individual care plans. Three meals a day are prepared under the supervision of a registered dietitian, with therapeutic diets—such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanically altered textures—available when prescribed. Meals are typically served in a communal dining room to encourage socialization, but in-room dining can be arranged for residents who are recovering or prefer privacy. Snacks and hydration stations are offered throughout the day, and staff monitor intake to ensure residents meet dietary recommendations.
