Garden Way Retirement Community sits at 175 S. Garden Way in Eugene, just east of Autzen Stadium, and has been serving seniors since 2010 as part of the Sunshine Retirement Living family, offering a wide range of living options like independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care, and you'll find that residents can choose between studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, each with the option to bring and decorate with their own furniture to feel at home. The building has a traditional exterior with tidy lawns and a brightly colored pergola, offering multi-generational spaces for families and children to gather, and a pet-friendly policy lets both cats and dogs live with their owners. The staff, including an Executive Director and a Life Enrichment Director, work around the clock so residents can enjoy a safe environment with caring people on site at all hours.
Inside, there's a movie theater, hair salon, activity and game rooms, a library, computer center, fitness and wellness center, and well-maintained common areas, so residents can keep busy or relax however they please, and they've got weekly housekeeping, on-call maintenance, washers and dryers, and a smoke-free atmosphere. Restaurant-style dining with fresh ingredients, 24/7 gourmet food, plus snacks and meals are always available, and families can visit for gatherings, especially during holidays since there's always plenty of seating in the bright main dining room. Residents get complimentary internet, cable TV, and Wi-Fi in all the common areas, with transportation and door-to-door service for appointments, shopping, and activities outside the building. The hallways and units are designed for safety with handrails, sprinkler systems, staff alert systems, and pull cords or wearable pendants for help, and the facility maintains a clean and professional environment at all times.
Garden Way supports independent, active older adults with a full calendar of social and health programs, exercise classes, movie nights, bingo, arts and crafts, education programs, and outings, and the grounds are set up with scenic walking paths and garden spaces for daily movement and outdoor enjoyment. Seniors who need help with daily living tasks can use assisted living, and those needing skilled care, long-term care, home health care, or hospice services find those options on site, with Medicare-certified and non-medical care available, plus adult day services for those who need daytime support. The facility follows Blue Zones-inspired principles, which means daily life encourages natural movement, stress reduction, healthy meals, mindful eating, and social connections for a strong sense of community.
All-inclusive monthly rent covers most amenities, and there's flexibility for residents with month-to-month leases, laundry and dry cleaning service, and on-site support for moving with the EZ Move Program. Garden Way Retirement Community allows pets, offers concierge services like pet walking and taxi arrangements, has a robust travel program, and includes unique benefits such as bonuses for residents who refer friends, a robust online presence for families to connect and keep up-to-date, and a spot in the Home & Garden category for those looking for a comfortable and active retirement setting in Eugene.
