Our Mission
The purpose of Evergreen West is to meet the developmental, physical, emotional, social, educational, intellectual and spiritual needs of the program participants regardless of their level of independence or disability. Our mission is to create and maintain a safe, nurturing home that meets the needs of each individual in a positive and normalizing environment that supports quality of life with individual choice and encourages growth and development. Program services at the home will be provided with compassion and exceptional care with the collaboration of the individual’s families, service providers and the community to promote each youth to fully develop their potential capabilities.
Evergreen West program goals and services will be accomplished through implementation of procedures into daily routines, the curriculum design, encouraging staff interaction with residents, and by providing a warm, positive and caring atmosphere. Through on-going training, staff members will be knowledgeable of and will implement all aspects of the program goals of Evergreen West with the focus on enhancing the capabilities of each program participant.
