Middlefield Oaks Assisted Living and Memory Care sits at 1500 Village Dr in Cottage Grove, Oregon, and you'll find it has been through a big renovation in its memory care neighborhood, with over $300,000 put into things like new LVP and LVT floors, a refreshed kitchen with solid-surface counters and new appliances, bright paint, upgraded lights, window coverings, and more seating spots, all aiming to make things smoother for residents who deal with memory loss or dementia. The memory care wing stays calm and safe, and its open-concept layout lets residents see more and move around with as much independence as possible, while the secure design keeps folks with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia from wandering off and helps them feel grounded in familiar routines, and the staff follows special training in dementia care best practices so everybody gets care that fits their needs.
This place has 62 beds, covering assisted living and memory care, and offers different room types like shared suites, private and deluxe studios, and larger private options, all under one price that covers meals and care. They keep the building clean, updated, and safe for seniors, with things like individual heating and cooling units and views of the garden. Seniors can count on help for daily activities like bathing, dressing, getting reminders for meals and medication, laundry, and housekeeping, and there's always someone around for emergencies, day or night, with hospitality and support staff known for being friendly and responsive. The dining room serves made-from-scratch meals using fresh, seasonal ingredients, with special diets handled as needed, and meals are set up so people can eat with others at their own speed.
The community includes spaces to host occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, or even a movie night, and activities such as exercise, brain games, book clubs, card games, puzzles, and crafts get scheduled and listed on a monthly brochure, and there are devotionals both onsite and offsite, plus a salon and barbershop for residents. Folks also get scheduled rides for medical visits and outings. The whole memory care setup aims to reduce stress and confusion, with features that keep the environment calm, bright, and easy to navigate, and life enrichment activities focus on helping residents feel engaged through music, social time, and routines familiar to them. Middlefield Oaks is, in the end, physician-owned and operated, and the staff works hard to create a home-like place for seniors who need help with daily tasks, memory care, or both, always making safety, comfort, and a sense of belonging a big part of life there.
