Evergreen Retirement Community nurtures a unique culture that provides excellent working conditions and the tools needed to support successful careers. We are proactive on health care issues and have established a national reputation as a leader in the long-term care industry. Employees at Evergreen are able to help people, use their God-given gifts and are encouraged to reach their potential.  We have high resident and staff satisfaction with low staff turnover. We offer a stable environment with long-term employees and opportunities to participate on significant and meaningful teams. Evergreen offers employees a Christian-based, team and family-oriented atmosphere.

We encourage our staff to “think outside the box” and through their efforts we have incorporated programs like the “World of Thanks” event that celebrates and thanks Staff, Volunteers, and Donors. The I.D.E.A. Program is a vehicle that encourages staff to share inter-departmental suggestions for improvement.  The STARS program rewards staff for annual perfect attendance with a $50.00 gift certificate.  The Care To Share Program gives all staff the opportunity to help fellow employees during crisis.

Evergreen has a strong team environment where staff can participate in the development of new teams or contribute to standing teams. Staff and residents have great satisfaction in involvement with decision making to provide best practices to enhance daily living at Evergreen. Wellspring (an alliance with long-term care facilities in eastern WI to promote quality and best practices) Teams include: Pain Management, Skin, Nutrition, Urinary Incontinence, Falls, Restorative, Psychosocial Well-being. These teams provide quality care through staff and resident input and collaboration

Evergreen is committed to personal and professional growth for each individual. We promote education for staff through many different avenues.  We offer Life Skills and Talents classes where staff can learn how to balance a checkbook, make a budget, use the Internet and set up a Power of Attorney for health care and advanced directives for family members. We offer education inservices like Parenting Tips, Leadership, Dementia and Conflict Resolution.  There are also opportunities to attend outside inservices and conventions.

To best sum up Evergreen and our employees, here is a quote from a thirty-five year employee, Lou Holdren, RN….

”Evergreen constantly strives to provide the best care possible, physically, spiritually, mentally and socially. Inservices are provided to promote learning and quality care. Individual efforts and teamwork are recognized in special ways. The staff (co-workers) work together and are like a family.”
