Evergreen Memory Care
Our Team

Danielle was introduced to Senior Living in 2011 as a care giver. She quickly knew that caring for seniors would be her career. Danielle lived in Northern California and grew with her company from caregiver to med tech and finally Director of the Memory Care. She decided she was ready for a new adventure and moved her family to Oregon in 2019, where she worked as the Administrator in a small Memory Care Community in Cottage Grove, before joining the amazing team at Evergreen Memory Care.

When Danielle is not working, she enjoys spending time with her four children and her beautiful granddaughter.

Brandie comes to us with over 12 years of combined experience in property management and marketing. While growing up, she always had a heart for seniors and often turned to them as a young person for direction. Even now, she values her elders and what can be gleaned from them, and she finds it rewarding to assist seniors on this journey and to help improve the quality of their lives. Brandie has lived in Lane County for the past 21 years with her husband and their beautiful daughter, Chloe. They enjoy worshipping in church together, singing, and playing music. She centers her life around God and finds great comfort in knowing that He knows the plans for our lives, and his thoughts toward us are good, to give us a hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).

Lauren has always had a heart to help people. She has helped take care of her grandmother for many years and has enjoyed working with seniors in other aspects of her life. Lauren, her husband, and their two dogs recently relocated to Oregon from Artesia, New Mexico. She has a BA in directing and playwriting from San Francisco State University. Since 2011, she was able to use her degree while working for the Artesia Arts Council at the Ocotillo Performing Arts Center where she was the Education Director and managed the company’s digital marketing endeavors. This position allowed her to work with large groups in the community; young and old. While working in the arts she was able to branch out to working at her local senior center and with underprivileged youth. She is thrilled to be the Community Relations Coordinator and learning all about the residents, the campus, and the community.

Paula has been in various roles here at Evergreen Memory Care ranging from care partner, medication technician, and now business office manager. Prior to this, Paula has experience working in doctor’s offices with a focus on medical records and billing.

Paula came to be at Evergreen Memory Care because several people she previously worked with were employed here and raved about the great team and working environment at our community. "I have to say they were right! I look forward to coming to work every day and enjoying our fun and supportive team!"

Outside of work, Paula is avid reader and gardener! She loves to spend her time outside.

In 2010, Jamie worked as a caregiver in Cottage Grove and moved his way up to a med tech position. In 2020, Jamie became the Resident Care Coordinator. He left Memory Care for a little while to peruse another career but quickly realized that it wasn’t for him. Jamie came to Evergreen in 2021 as a med tech and transitioned to Resident Care Coordinator. He took care of his mother at a young age and was raised by his grandparents and that is where Jamie's love for seniors comes from. Jamie always treat the residents the same way he would treat his grandparents. "I love spending time with my family and friends. I love to travel and see what is new out there."
