The Best Memory Care Communities in Lane County, OR

"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."

"I loved. the staff of the Acorn Cottage. When I would visit my Mom, I would see them interact with the residents. They were caring and attentive. I looked forward to going to see my Mom as well as the staff. My Mom has passed. I will continue to go see the other residents and the staff. Caring and helpful. These young workers have compassion."

"My wife moved into River Grove Memory Care, and she's doing quite well. They have been absolutely excellent. I'm having more trouble with it than my wife is, she's adapting very well. I've been able to have window visits with her daily, they have an outside pagoda where we have been able to sit outside together with a plexi glass between us, and then next week I get to go inside and sit in her room with her. They have activities, but my wife has not participated in much of it, although they had a day there where they had some children and some ponies come out in the parking lot. They were able to go outside and walk around them keeping their distance, and that was good. The staff has been absolutely wonderful, and I smelled their chicken and dumplings the other day, and I wanted to stay for dinner."

"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."

"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."

"My father is staying at Gateway Gardens. It's an excellent home. It's very spacious, level, and clean. The staff is very kind and very attentive. They have music, they go to church, there's reading, and painting. They were having an Easter celebration when we were there last. The food is excellent. They cook there in the facility and the food is presentable and looks appetizing."

"Our relative receives excellent care at Chateau Gardens. She is very happy there. We are very grateful for the caring staff and fine facilities. "

"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."

"This place is top notch, my wife receives top notch care, I would recommend Marquis to any person who has a need for this type of care."

"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."

"We chose Sherwood Pines Residential because we thought that the people who run that place have a genuine interest in the residents. They were warm and cordial, and the residents are active. My mom has a room and it's warm and friendly. She's been there for six months now. My mom seems to enjoy the food. She eats it and she's actually gained a few pounds because it's highly nutritious. I am sure she is happy there. And, we are very happy. The people who run it really care about the residents, and the people they employ are really neat. I pick my mom up on Sundays for church and she's always clean, ready to go, and had eaten breakfast, so it's really kind of nice. We are very pleased. "

"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. "

"My wife is in Middlefield Oaks' memory care. It's a really nice place, I'm very happy with the care she's getting there. She's not happy being there simply because of the Sundowners she's suffering from. One reason that I picked this particular community is the fact that I can go in and bring her out and take her to dinner, breakfast, lunch, or whatever, although, that's not possible now with the virus. The other thing that swayed me to this facility was when I'm done self-paying, I can go to Medicaid without her being evicted. They will go ahead and accept the Medicaid reimbursement. The hospital is also right across the street. My wife is suffering from Sundowners Syndrome and the people here seem to be working with her very well so that's another reason I like this place. There's a little area where they get together and those with enough brain power stay and play games like cards and all that. The staff is very helpful and they contact me 2 or 3 times a week to let me know what's going on. They have the assisted living out front and then the memory care is in the back. Sometimes, not now because of COVID, they let the residents intermingle if they're not escape-risk."
