Evergreen Chalet (EC) is a residential care facility for the elderly, also known as assisted living or board and care facility. EC is licensed for 12 residents by the State of California (License #374600960)

Evergreen Chalet is located in a beautiful rural area of Vista, CA on a high bluff overlooking large estates, green agricultural lands and the hills and valley leading to the Pacific Ocean, 9 miles away.

Evergreen Chalet accepts ambulatory and non-ambulatory residents including individuals with Alzheimer's or dementia who are over the age of 60.

At Evergreen Chalet, our mission is to become the best medium-sized (12 beds) residential care facility in San Diego's North County. Our goal is to create a safe, caring and dignifying environment while helping our residents to stay healthy and maintain a good quality of life. We encourage our residents, whenever possible, to stay in charge of their physical and emotional well being.

The facility provides each resident with a private room. The majority of rooms have a private bathroom or toilet. Residents can choose to have their own furniture or the furniture provided by the facility.

Evergreen Chalet offers the entire range of services traditionally provided by residential care facilities including meals, housekeeping, laundry, assistance with the activities of daily living (ADLs), trips to the doctor, etc. These services are provided by a well-trained and dedicated staff of caregivers under the supervision of a full-time administrator.

We provide three nutritional meals and two snacks daily. All meals are prepared on the premises from fresh ingredients. Activities are provided daily and include TV programs, movies, reading, news updates, games, physical exercises, occasional outings, and others.

Evergreen Chalet has a Basic Rate that includes room and board, daily housekeeping and linen service, supervision of medication, social activities and help with activities of daily living (ADLs). The Basic Rate is $3,250.00. Residents who are incontinent pay an additional$250.00. There are no other charges whatsoever.

The Admission Process:

Before admission, we need to do a pre-appraisal of the prospective resident. This is done to ensure that he/she is compatible and appropriate for an assisted living/residential care for the elderly in general and Evergreen Chalet in particular. If the decision is made to admit, an Admission Agreement (see the full text of the Agreement) will be signed and a provisional care plan will be developed in cooperation with the resident or significant other.

After admission, the resident will be observed for at least one month. Based on this observation, a new appraisal will be done and an individual care plan will be developed. This appraisal and care plan will be redone bi-annually or any time there is a significant change in the resident status.

One of the unique features of our service is the guarantee that we will never increase our monthly fee regardless of the resident’s need for increased care. During our ten-year history we had only cost of living increases of less then 5% every two years. This gives the resident and the family peace of mind and certainty in planning for the future.

We have put together some very valuable information on how to choose a facility, what is Alzheimer's, what is Parkinson's. This information is useful for residents, family members and caregivers.
