Evergreen Management

Operator of the Long-Standing Arden Courts and The Auberge Memory Care Brands

Evergreen Management is a Toledo, Ohio-based senior living operator providing independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care across 12 states. The large majority of Evergreen's communities operate under two well-established, dedicated memory care brands: Arden Courts (51 communities) and The Auberge (11 communities), along with four independently named communities: Lely Palms, Linden Village, Springhouse, and Charlotte Stephenson Manor, which offer a broader mix of independent and assisted living.

Important recent history: Evergreen became an independent, senior-living-focused company in August 2025, when it took on management of more than 50 Arden Courts communities previously owned by ProMedica Health System, in addition to 11 Auberge communities it already managed. Families researching Arden Courts or Auberge communities online may find older material describing ProMedica or HCR ManorCare ownership, which no longer reflects current management.

Senior Living and Care Options

Evergreen's portfolio is organized around a few distinct brands with different focuses:

●       Arden Courts (51 communities): dedicated memory care communities for residents living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias

●       The Auberge (11 communities): dedicated memory care communities, primarily in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Texas

●       Lely Palms, Linden Village, Springhouse, and Charlotte Stephenson Manor: independently named communities offering a broader mix of independent living and assisted living, in addition to memory care at some locations

Families specifically seeking independent or assisted living without a primary memory care focus should look closely at the four independently named communities rather than Arden Courts or Auberge locations, which are generally dedicated memory care settings. Families can review independent living, assisted living, and memory care options near them on Senior Care Finder.

What Makes Evergreen Management Different?

A Very Recent, Well-Documented Corporate Transition

In August 2025, Evergreen became an independent company focused solely on senior living, after taking on management of more than 50 Arden Courts communities previously owned by ProMedica Health System (which had acquired the Arden Courts portfolio via HCR ManorCare and real estate investment trust Welltower in 2018). This followed Evergreen's existing management of 11 Auberge memory care communities. Company leadership has stated that on-the-ground leadership, care standards, and staff have remained unchanged through this transition.

Deep Specialization in Dedicated Memory Care

Unlike operators that offer memory care as one of several service lines, the large majority of Evergreen's portfolio (62 of 66 communities) consists of dedicated memory care communities under the Arden Courts (51 communities) and Auberge (11 communities) brands, reflecting decades of specialized experience caring for residents with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.

Long-Standing, Recognized Brand Names

Arden Courts is a long-established memory care brand with communities across many states, having operated under several corporate owners over the decades, including Marriott Senior Living and HCR ManorCare, before its most recent transition to independent management under Evergreen.

Continuity of On-the-Ground Leadership

Despite the change in corporate ownership and management structure, Evergreen has emphasized that its executive and regional teams were closely involved in day-to-day operations of the Arden Courts communities for several years prior to the August 2025 transition, aiming to minimize disruption for residents, families, and staff.

Life at an Evergreen-Managed Community

Because the majority of Evergreen's communities are dedicated memory care settings, day-to-day life is generally structured around residents' cognitive needs. Depending on the community, residents may find:

●       Secure environments with walking paths and visual cues designed to support residents with memory loss

●       Home-like common areas and themed spaces (some communities have recently added spaces such as music/listening lounges)

●       Structured programming designed for residents with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias

●       Broader independent and assisted living options at the four non-Arden-Courts, non-Auberge communities

Because Evergreen's portfolio recently changed hands, families touring an Arden Courts or Auberge community should ask how the August 2025 transition has affected staffing, programming, and any planned renovations at that specific location.

What Residents and Families Say

Ratings for individual Evergreen-managed communities on Senior Care Finder vary widely, from as low as 3.8 (at Arden Courts at Towson) to as high as 5.0 (at communities including Arden Courts at Kensington). The Auberge at The Woodlands shows 4.8, and Lely Palms Senior Living shows 4.5. Given the size of this portfolio (66 communities across multiple brands), families should review ratings and comments for the exact community they are considering rather than assuming a uniform experience across the network, and should keep in mind that some reviews may predate the August 2025 management transition.

Leadership

Justin Skiver is Chief Executive Officer of Evergreen Management. Following the August 2025 transition, he stated that Evergreen's priorities include maintaining operational continuity for residents and families while introducing new investment in the communities.

Luke Pile is President and Chief Operating Officer of Evergreen Management.
