Assisted Living Communities in Springfield, OR

"Our second choice would have been Evergreen Senior Living. They have independent, assisted, and memory care, so they have three options. At that point, we weren't sure what level of care my father-in-law was going to need. The part that I didn't like for us, was the distance from our house. It's still right in Eugene, but the location wasn't optimal for us. The staff was patient and knowledgeable. She took her time to show me all the living areas. They had activities, but they just had more space. For us, we were looking at what activities we thought my father-in-law might do, which would be the movie theater, and there, they were like couches, so it wasn't set up to look like a theater. I know that's nit-picky, but that was one of the things that we liked about the other place. They had a gym, a salon, and a lot of crafting activities, which was not something for my father-in-law. They offered a lot of activities. The nice thing about Evergreen's activities is they list everything on their website, so family members can log in at any time to view it, which I thought was nice.

"Mom has been in Oaktree Residential Living for over a month now. They have a residential care and 2 foster homes. In their smaller residential home, they have 15 or 16 patients, so they’d get a whole lot more individual care. The family that runs it is very caring, and somebody is always around. All of the staff has been real caring, and they keep the place clean as to where it smells nice and the food is very good. I’ve been really impressed with the help that they have so far. Mom is a lot happier, too. "

"When searching the Eugene area for the medical care I needed after my stay at the local hospital here in Eugene, I felt blessed to have had the patience to have finally found the Junction City Retirement Community. I have lived here well over one year now. During the first interview when meeting with the main office staff in charge for the function of this corporate building, I have learned that not only do they help create the enjoyable comfort for seniors here but they also communicate and exhibit good ideas to working together with their employees and establish the nicest home away from home possible. for the residence living here. There is a bus used twice a week every week for road trips made for doctor appointments that are needed and for shopping. Within the building there are many functions that are organized for the people living here too. Some seniors enjoy board games like puzzles, monopoly and more, There's bowling, Cooking class, Drawing and painting, a class for exercise, there is always a togetherness in the main living room that is set aside for meeting each other. To name a few there are church services., there's watching online television on a large screen, there's following the games of Trivia, there's Utube and more.. There are many things here. All workers are highly committed to insure the comfort and wellness for the seniors they care for and who need assisted living for their recovery, like in my circumstance for being here. The doctors requirements of the medications ordered for my return to health have been handled and delivered to me daily with all manners of respect and care to my needs. The staffs professional knowledge for the care of each senior here is without doubt positively and certainly a wonderful place for recovery and offer the feeling of being home. During my two operations, my stay here has been truly remarkable. All staff members are wonderful and all have the accountability to insure the wellness of the many residence who live here. The Junction City Retirement and Assisted Living Community is truly the nicest environment one could hope for in finding their medical and inspirational needs for wellness. All workers here are well organized and accountable to their words spoken. I am very happy to recover here."

"Bayberry Commons was very nice. The staff members were excellent and did a good job. The rooms were adequate for a person living alone. It depends on what you pay for. You can get more room if you need it. They had a large dining room. Some people ate in their own rooms, and they had a little kitchen and stuff. I had a meal there, and it was very good. The grounds were not very large. They have houses on the property that you can live in."

"There is nothing I don't like at Spring Valley Assisted Living Residence. They are very kind, and they have good staff. The food is good. It's a very lovely, clean place. The only reason that the person I was taking care of moved out is because he became too high of a level of care, so he had to go to a place that took better care of him because he needed more help. We were looking initially for an assisted living, just somebody to help my loved one, because he broke his foot. As time went on, he developed more problems, and so they told him he had to leave and go to skilled nursing or something. Everything was good, though. It was very clean. It's laid out well."

"We just moved my mom into Gateway Living. It's a unique set-up because they have several buildings and each building houses about 14 people. It is really quite nice. The rooms are small, but freshly painted, clean, and carpeted. There are individual and shared rooms. They have a common area where they have a living room, a kitchen, and a dining room. There's also an outside area where people can go out and sit. They provide activities, meals, and whatever level of care residents need. They take people places when they want to go places. The staff is very friendly and very attentive. I've looked at about four other places and this one was a little more reasonably priced."

"My mom is at ElderHealth & Living. It's very clean, very organized, and very well maintained. The staff has been excellent. My mom has a twin-sized hospital bed. She has a roommate, and the room is pretty large. We were able to put her belongings on the wall like photos and paintings and things that she likes. They have a nice kitchen. There are multiple tables, and they sit them accordingly. My mom has severe dementia, and she can be pretty combative and angry, but I know that she has coloring books, and there's a grassy area outside that is covered that she likes to go outside when we visit. But as far as other activities, I have no idea and she doesn't participate. I would say it's an excellent place. It's very expensive, but we're in the process of getting my mom qualified for Medicaid. It's pricey, but it's excellent care."

"My room is comfortable. My family had brought some family pictures and 3 of my African violets so it felt homey. A few days after I moved in, my cat moved in. It is so wonderful to have him with me. The caregivers are all very respectful of him, which adds to my comfort level. "

"I am going to move to Grace Manor Senior Living's independent living. It's small but from what I can tell, it's a great community. I was there yesterday and met several residents, it's a very friendly place and the food is great. The meals, cable, internet, electricity, heat and air conditioner, they're all included. They have physical activities, they have movie and popcorn afternoons, and they have art activities, and I get to take classes on art. They're very big on community. They have music on Sunday afternoons, the director plays the piano for them. There are a lot of get-together meals. It's very clean and very nice, it only has about 60 units so it's small but inside it looks huge. The only thing I would add is it's small but they use every foot of that place to the maximum, and it's not crowded."

"I like the idea of the transitional care there at Ascot Park Senior Living. I think that's the part that my husband would fit into at this time. He would fit better in between memory care and assisted living, so I would have been very happy with that. They have separate cabins. They call them cabins but they are facilities for about 20 people in each area. Everything was first class. It was very nice. They have a large fenced area that was a garden area. They even have raised gardens for the residents where they could plant their own little garden. They take the residents on a scenic drive if they want to. They take them shopping and to events at no extra charge. I was very pleased with them. If we decide to move to Eugene, that's where we would go. The staff member who gave the tour was wonderful. My daughter attended with me, and the staff must have talked to us for an hour in her office. She's a former nurse, and she went over a lot of details about how they interact with their residents, and how we should interact with my husband to the care or the transition into assisted living. She was just a really thoughtful and informative person. The place was very clean, very pleasant, and well-maintained."

"I am so greatful the many years of loving individualized care angel's aisle provided my grams .she always told me how good the food was, and spoke of the staff as family. "

"Merrill Gardens at Sheldon Park was nice and clean-looking. The staff was wonderful and amazing. The lady that we've been talking to was an amazing person. She does a great job."

"The Springs at Greer Gardens was a very nice place. I liked it. It's one of the newest as well. I have a friend that lives there, so I've visited there many times and joined him for supper or lunch or just a visit. It's a little expensive but what you're getting is a lot for the money you're paying. It is one of the nicest places I have ever seen."

"Emerald Valley Assisted Living Residence is a medium-sized place which is what we prefer. The staff is very attentive and have been very responsive to our needs. Mom tells me that they are very nice, they provide quality care, and they make sure her needs are met. The place is very nice with a nice yard all the way around. They have walking paths all around and we really like the fact that it's in a quiet neighborhood setting, not on a busy street, which appealed to us as well. Mom has a 1-bedroom apartment which is very nicely done. It has a full bathroom and she's really comfortable there."
