The 100-year-old retirement community's new facility puts the "home" in "nursing home."
I’m about 5 minutes into my tour of the Evergreens’ new health care building with CEO Doug Halvorsen when it hits me: Heck, I’d like to live here. The spa, the salon down the hall, the comfortable 400-square-foot rooms—each one with a kitchenette and private bathroom—the serene courtyard and living room-like common areas, the massive kitchen/dining room with granite countertops and state-of-the-art cooking equipment. This isn’t a nursing home, it’s a home. “What we tried to build is a highly residential, non-institutional-feeling building, that’s built to health standards,” said Halvorsen. Here’s a small example of what he’s talking about: Health code requires that in an assisted living/skilled nursing facility such as this, every resident…

For a group born before World War II, retirement means perfecting their hobbies in art.
Beyond the bucolic surroundings and past the portico has been hiding a well-kept artistic surprise that, thanks to Dick Meehan, has now been revealed. Meehan, 81, a five-year resident of The Evergreens on Bridgeboro Road, has unveiled a booklet, Focus on the Arts at The Evergreens, which chronicles the striking and stunning works in 350 photographs of artists-in-residence of the facility. The collection is the upshot of fieldwork Meehan arranged, after recognizing that many of the folks living at The Evergreens were accomplished artists. What reverberates while viewing the many collected works is the awe-inspiring knowledge that most of the artists were born in the days when gas cost 10 cents. The 37 artists, most between ages 80 and 100, …

Mary Ellen Ross was an inspiration to everyone around her. Even after she was diagnosed with breast cancer in Nov. 2007, and even after she lost her fight with it in Aug. 2008, she remained a source of pride and strength for those who remembered her. “The measure of Mary Ellen’s life lies within her character and the legacy she has left,” said Doug Halvorsen, president and chief executive officer at The Evergreens retirement community, where Ross served as vice president of health services. “Her optimism, her joy, her humor, her courage, her passion and her love—these are all things we miss now that she is not part of our daily lives. But these are also things we will always remember about her.” To commemorate her spirit, and raise money …

The Evergreens readies for the 4th annual Cycle of Life Motorcycle Poker Run.
Doug Halverson does not like golf. So when the president and CEO of The Evergreens wanted to hold a fundraiser to benefit the YMCA of Burlington and Camden counties, he didn't want to hold a golf tournament. He had a better idea. “We’ve know Doug for some time,” said Tim Kerrihard, president and CEO of the Y. “He’s a visionary leader. His ideas turn into good things.” Halverson’s idea to raise money for the Y: the Cycle of Life Motorcycle Poker Run. The event, which begins at 8 a.m. June 18 at the Y, consists of a 100-plus mile ride that ends with a picnic at The Flying W Airport Resort in Medford. Riders will draw cards at the start of the ride, at three stops along the route and a final card at the Flying W. The best hands win prizes. In…

The continuing care retirement community's facility is on Phase II of a four-phase project.
The Evergreens is getting a face-lift. The 32-acre continuing care retirement community is halfway through Phase II of its additions.

Blood drive, community service and Poetry Slam mark day.
At Moorestown High School, students were busy Monday despite school being closed for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Students began the National Day of Service with an American Red Cross blood drive, sponsored by the school’s Interact Club. The drive ran from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and had about 40 donors. “I am happy to donate and it’s cool to do so on a day of service,” said Brianna DeGroat. Added Brianna Defoe, an Interact Blood Drive chair: “I am dedicated to service in general and to the day of service, so this is a good day to be part of a blood drive.” The day continued with a guest speaker, Wali Rushdan, a law student at Rutgers University and the president of the Black Law Student’s Association. Rushdan’s visit was sponsored by the Service …
