The Evergreens was founded in 1919 by the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey. Today we are a non-denominational community that caters to the religious and cultural diversity of our residents. Nonetheless, our mission of enhancing the quality of life for those we serve is anchored in the ecumenical tradition of our founders. 

In the spirit of our Episcopal tradition, it is The Evergreens’ mission to enhance the individual, social, emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being of our diverse community. 

Our 2009 perfect 5-star rating by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is just the most recent of many such distinctions The Evergreens has earned over many years. Along with our selection to Consumer Reports magazine’s “Consider List” year after year, this is the type of recognition we see as a natural side effect of the dedication, personal integrity, commitment to our residents and hard work of our staff.
