Who is EveryAge?
EveryAge is the new name for United Church Homes and Services (UCHS), a vibrant community of programs and services committed to helping seniors age better, every step of the way. The Home Office is located in Newton, NC, and is on the edge of the Abernethy Laurels campus.
Throughout North Carolina and Virginia, EveryAge operates retirement communities, PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) programs, affordable senior housing communities, and a childcare center collectively employing around 1,000 team members. For more than 50 years, our organization has evolved to meet the changing needs of our community and the individuals we serve, but our commitment to the founders’ original vision remains true.
What does the name "EveryAge" mean?
EveryAge is committed to delivering care and compassion at every stage and age of life, not only to those we serve but also to those we employ and others who support our ministry, such as family members of residents and volunteers. Our organization reflects the vibrancy of the services offered and how we value life at every stage.
Why was there a name change?
The organization embarked upon a re-brand in 2021 to align with the 50th anniversary of providing services. This new brand demonstrates that every age matters, at every level of service needed.
Over the past 50 years, our organization has grown and evolved to meet the changing needs of our community and the individuals we serve. The EveryAge brand extends beyond our roots as a faith-based program to encompass the community-wide support system that currently serves more than 2,000 senior adults and individuals of various ages.
How will the history of the organization continue to be honored and represented?
The name EveryAge ties directly back to our original promise to deliver care and compassion to seniors at every stage and every age of their lives. The EveryAge brand also aligns with the organization’s goal of empowering seniors and their families to navigate their futures by providing help and support that evolves with them. Choosing the name EveryAge for our new brand signifies our strongly-held belief that all ages matter and that it’s important to make the most out of life, regardless of age.
