Our mission is to provide the highest quality person-centered care and services, with a commitment to serving older adults of diverse financial means.

Evergreen Living Innovations, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization whose roots date back to 1864 in Johnson County, Kansas. In 2003, Johnson County privatized the operation of Johnson County Nursing Center, creating an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to serving older adults, including those with limited financial resources. In 2009, the organization became Evergreen Living Innovations, Inc.

Today, Evergreen Community offers a full continuum of senior living and healthcare services, including Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care Assisted Living, long-term skilled nursing care, and hospice services. Through its neighborhood model and person-directed philosophy, Evergreen is committed to creating a true home where residents maintain choice, dignity, purpose, and meaningful relationships.

A significant portion of Evergreen’s skilled nursing residents rely on Medicaid, reflecting the organization’s longstanding commitment to ensuring access to quality care regardless of financial circumstances.

In 2003, Evergreen also established GERTI (the Growing with Evergreen Resources and Transforming Innovation), an educational division dedicated to transforming aging services. GERTI provides low-cost education, consultation, and training to long-term care and senior living professionals, helping organizations move beyond institutional models toward cultures that support person-directed living and quality of life
