Pat
Giorgio Owner/Manager Administrator,
Evergreen Estates III Pat Giorgio is the founder of Evergreen Estates, truly a family run business! She is motivated by her employees and the residents of the three Evergreen locations and has owned Evergreen Estates for 19 years and credits her success to honing her listening skills and paying attention to what’s really important.
“Watching our residents develop friendships and listening to them visit with each other is a daily inspiration. We help to create a home for them and watching them minister and care for one another is so rewarding, ” Pat comments. However, she also notes that the honesty and frankness of the residents keeps her humble as she recalls a story of overhearing one resident saying, “She’s a little too old for that skirt, don’t you think?”
Matt Giorgio Administrator, Evergreen Estates I
Matt has worked at Evergreen from the ripe-old age of 14 – everything from mowing the lawns to fixing the washing machines - learning more than he could ever have imagined about all aspects of the business and life. Matt returned to Evergreen Estates full time after college and loves being an integral part of the family business. He manages Evergreen Estates I, the main building in the Evergreen Estates campus.
Matt’s favorite part of the day? Giving and receiving those little smiles and saying hello to all of the caring residents throughout the day. Laura Martensen Laura has been
with Evergreen Estates for 24 years. Yes, you read that right, 24 years! She started working in care facilities at 15 and went on to earn her LPN degree so
she could pursue a career in the residential care industry. She enjoys doing
those little extras that make the residents feel special and says that any part of the day is good when all the residents
needs are met and everyone feels safe and taken care of.
Kathy Ely Kathy’s favorite quote is “When we show our respect for other living things, they respond with respect for us” and it shows in her daily interactions with Evergreen Estates residents. She has been in the Evergreen Estates family for 16 years and was initially interested in working in a residential care facility because her grandmother did when she was a child. “I remember spending the day at work with her on many occasions. I always looked forward to the time and enjoyed visiting with people while I was there,” Kathy recalls.
