What do you like most about your decision to move your sister into Memory care in our community?
My sister recently moved in and I have been very happy with the care she is receiving. I am fortunate enough to be able to visit her regularly, and I come and go at different times of day and on different days. I always feel comfortable with what is going on in the common areas, as well as with my sister and her care.
Staff here are receptive to questions, helpful and respectful to residents, which I feel is most important. Many of the staff go above and beyond in showing caring and kindness. I am very pleased with the decision we made.

HOW WAS the TOUR?
I liked visiting Ecumen Evergreens of Moorhead for several reasons. It seemed like a home, and while I was there, a group of six or eight residents were sitting together, playing bingo I think. The general layout of the place was more like a home. They get people together for meals. I talked to the executive director for quite a while. She was very thorough in answering my questions, and she was not in a hurry. She gave me as much time as I wanted.

ASSISTED LIVING
DO YOU HAVE ASSISTED LIVING IN YOUR COMMUNITY?
No, at this time we only provide memory care housing and services at Ecumen Evergreens of Moorhead. However, our nearby sister community, Ecumen Evergreens of Fargo, has housing and services similar to assisted living called Basic Care. Additionally, our sister community, Ecumen Detroit Lakes, offers assisted living housing and services.
Memory Care
HOW IS MEMORY CARE DIFFERENT THAN ASSISTED LIVING?
They are different in amenities, services and level of independence manageable by the resident. Our memory care community provides individuals experiencing Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia a private room in a safe and secured environment supervised 24/7 by experts in dementia care. Whereas an assisted living community offers residents a more independent lifestyle with a private apartment home that includes a full kitchen, private bathroom, meal plan, and a customized care plan with regularly scheduled visits from an onsite expert care team.
IS A NURSING HOME THE SAME AS MEMORY CARE?
They refer to two different kinds of senior living housing and services. What many people call a nursing home or a skilled nursing home, is what Ecumen calls long-term care. Long-term care is for individuals who require 24-hour skilled nursing care. Our campus does not offer long-term care services. Our Ecumen Evergreens of Moorhead memory care community provides individuals experiencing Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia a private room in a safe and secured environment supervised 24/7 by experts in dementia care.

HOW DOES YOUR FAMILY LIKE OUR COMMUNITY AND CARE?
Ecumen Evergreens of Moorhead has been wonderful. My mom's dementia was getting worse and my sisters and I could no longer help. They took her in with open arms. We’re happy they take Minnesota assistance as well. A nice size room for mom with her own bathroom, and a big window for her to watch the birds while knitting away.
