A Brief History of The Evergreens®
In 1919, The Evergreens® was founded in Bound Brook, NJ as a generous gift to the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey by the Henry LaMonte family. We were established on a tradition we continue to honor: a commitment to provide older adults with the support, dignity and security of a residential health facility.
When The Evergreens® moved to Moorestown, we expanded services to include long-term nursing care. Now known as Matthews Hall, the magnificent red brick main building at the center of our campus was originally built in the 1920s as the home of the Johnson family, founders of the Victor Talking Machine Company. In 1949 this stately residence became the new architectural centerpiece of The Evergreens®.
In 1994, our tradition of caring moved to yet another logical level of growth, as we became a continuing care retirement community, offering active older adults an independent lifestyle. It is within the rich context of this tradition of caring that we offer our services to residents.
The Evergreens® provides:
•Apartments
•Personal Care in our Van Duzer Pavilion
•Skilled Nursing Care in our Banyard Center
•Respite Care
•Rehabilitation Services
