Sherry Lutje Adult Foster Care sits over on 805 Queens Ave in Creswell, OR, and some folks around here call it a residential care home or sometimes an Adult Foster Home, depending on the state you're in, and what you get is a private house that only has about five assisted living units, so it's never too crowded, and you tend to know your neighbors because bed capacity stays under 10, making it a quieter and more home-like place for seniors who'd like a little less bustle. The staff stays busy helping people with daily activities like grooming, bathing, help with medicine, even help moving around, and they've got plenty of experience working with people who need diabetic care, incontinence management, and non-ambulatory care, as well as some special care for Parkinson's disease or memory care services when that's needed. All the rooms are private, and every shower you'll find in the place is wheelchair accessible, which helps people with movement needs get around easier, and the facility itself is set up to be secure, which is one less thing to worry about. There's a pretty full range of care, including ambulatory and residential care services, plus the adult foster care, which means caregivers are around for personal needs, for making food, for running group meals, and for keeping the space tidy.
Amenities are simple but thoughtful-there's a library area for quiet reading, there are walking trails, and there's a barbershop on site, along with a game room and a wellness center, and those who like to socialize or keep active can join in on recreation and education activities, with a full schedule meant to keep minds engaged and everyone connected. Meals are made by a chef, and when needed, there's dining assistance, special menus for dementia, and laundry services, so the day-to-day is comfortable and doesn't require a lot of extra effort from residents. There's valet service for convenience, and a private dining room too. The staff stays on duty day and night to help out, with health monitoring 24/7 and the premises always secured so families don't have to worry as much about safety issues. Massage therapy is available if that's something a resident enjoys or needs. Living spaces come in one-bedroom, studio, or communal options, so seniors can pick what fits their style and needs best.
The home focuses on keeping things comfortable, safe, and dignified, creating programs designed to promote mental health and friendship, so it doesn't feel lonely or isolating. Activities are structured to encourage socializing, and there's always help with whatever level of care a resident might need; the staff adjusts what they do so everyone gets what's right for their situation. The atmosphere is generally calm, filled with people in similar stages of life, and it's all tucked in a part of Creswell that's not far off from Eugene International Airport, so families who want to visit won't find the trip hard. They don't publish their prices, and the place hasn't picked up any specific awards, but reviews and more community details are usually available through residential care directories. Service hours run long on weekdays, starting early at 5:00 AM and going until 9:00 PM, and on weekends the hours are just a bit shorter, which gives plenty of time for visits or questions. The facility doesn't claim to offer every type of care under the sun, but they do focus on being thorough with the kinds of assisted living and adult foster care seniors often look for, which can be a comfort if you're not interested in a large, busy complex but would like a smaller community where people keep an eye out for each other and daily living feels manageable and quiet.
