History

In 1988, Christopher and Theresa Dixon fulfilled their dream of owning their own business. They bought the property at 200 Caldwell Avenue. (a building with a colorful and eclectic history - built in 1898) and opened Evening Star Personal Care Home. After much renovation and hard work by their entire family, that building was changed into a home with a capacity for 19 residents. Together, with their staff, they provide care based on dignity, spirituality, recreation, social interaction and personal touches. The meals are homemade and many days you will smell the aroma of fresh baked bread. An affordable homestyle living atmosphere is offered to those not wanting to live alone.
