Gateway Gardens sits in a quiet Eugene neighborhood at 178 Commons Dr, and it's been providing memory care since 2002, so you see they know how to help seniors who are living with Alzheimer's, dementia, traumatic brain injuries, or even mental health disorders that show up alongside memory loss, and they've got seven custom-built, secure houses on the Springfield Campus and six more on their Eugene campus, all designed to feel homelike with safe spaces to walk outside, parklike grounds, and common areas where residents can gather or visit with family. Rooms come as studio types, specifically for memory care, with rates from $4,000 to $7,500 a month, and include housekeeping, kitchens or kitchenettes, washers and dryers, and cable TV, so residents get some comfort and privacy plus help when they need it. The staff know memory care and offer individualized plans for each resident, creating a place where people with dementia or Alzheimer's get support that matches their personal needs, with registered nurses on duty, incontinence care, diabetic care, and non-ambulatory care, while personal care assistants help with daily tasks like bathing, walking, dressing, and medication.
Residents eat home-cooked, nutritionally balanced meals made by trained cooks who can adapt meals for special diets and work closely with doctors if needed, and there's a dining room, guest parking, Wi-Fi, a fitness center, salon/barbershop, and maintenance on-site. There's help available 24 hours a day from staff who are trained in memory care, and the whole place is equipped with nurse call systems, security features, handicap accessibility, and fire sprinklers, so people feel safe and families worry less. Activities happen on campus and off, like exercise classes, group walks, Wii Sports, movie outings, music therapy, trivia games, indoor crafts, and social or educational programs for mental and physical wellness, so residents have chances to stay busy and keep their minds and bodies active, and there are spiritual services and outdoor activity areas for fresh air and quiet. Gateway Gardens pays close attention to cleanliness and takes pride in being a supportive, warm place for both residents and their families, offering transportation, housekeeping, recreational opportunities, and help with challenging behaviors, as well as support for those who need the extra care that comes with traumatic brain injury or complex mental health needs, making the facility known locally for its skillful, gentle, and compassionate approach. Prospective residents and their families can also take a virtual tour to see the facilities before coming, so deciding if it feels right becomes a little easier.
