Mckenzie Manor Memory Care, located in Eugene, Oregon, is the first memory care community in the area, focusing on residents with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, so you'll find the place set up both inside and out for safety, comfort, and stress reduction, where people are cared for by experienced caregivers and med-aids who know how to handle memory loss and dementia-related needs, and where residents get individualized care plans and help with daily living. The building has 65 beds and offers both private and semi-private rooms-families can bring their own furniture if they want to make the rooms feel more like home. There's a dedicated memory care unit, registered nurses on staff to watch over medical needs, and a nurse always nearby, so residents' health and safety are looked after, with regular care plan checks, prescription management, medical support for diabetes and incontinence, and most physician-ordered diets managed as part of the services. Residents get three nutritious meals each day in a pleasant dining room, and the housekeeping staff keeps rooms tidy and clean.
Mckenzie Manor is designed for comfort and ease for those who get confused easily, with calm, warm decor, clear layouts, and a deeply supportive environment so folks don't wander into unsafe places. There's a secure, landscaped courtyard where people can stroll, enjoy some sun and fresh air, see greenery, and listen to birds or the wind in the trees, and there's an indoor common area with a piano if someone likes music or just wants to sit and relax somewhere peaceful. Staff work to build trust and friendships, keeping each day upbeat and meaningful with a full schedule of activities-baking, exercise groups, arts and crafts, spa days, socials, musical guests, gardening, and outings. Programs like "Memories in the Making" use art to spark memories, while the Radiant Program brings in activities that engage all five senses, like baking, painting, listening to soothing sounds, and gardening. Caregivers act as memory keepers and companions, spending time and knowing what makes each person feel safe and at home.
There's no pressure to do everything, but there's always something going on for people who want to join in, and the community welcomes private pay and Medicaid.
