Garden Way Retirement Community is the perfect place for our Mom.

My mom is very happy there and she went into it very skeptical. They definitely want her over and our whole family. It has been a really good move for my mom. The staff and residents have all been wonderful. The building is very nice very well kept and sparkling clean. The food is quite good. We have meals there quite a lot with my mom. They do a lot of family activities, especially for the holidays. It's a very welcoming environment.

When my husband and I moved into Garden Way, we had just ass our house and he was still receiving treatment for his career. We chose Garden Way of the three places where we has put down reserve payment because he liked the atmosphere the best. I liked our two bedroom apt free are it would allow him a private bed and bath dating his recovery as well as his place in the master bedroom and a comfortable couch in the living room. He leased all three places! The staff was amazing in their support of him. (homemade chicken broth extra help with cleaning etc his coffee ground moved into the dining hall. He went to a lot of experience classes to rebuild strength. He found his independence again as he moved into remission. He loved that he could go and do anything that was available reeled be independent again, He was remission for a year and a half before his illness returned and took him. I did not quite know what to do next but found that we really has become a part of a family and they have taken we under their wings! I am so involved in everything my husband and I did together please so much more. As the sign in the lobby say A place to find people who become friend who become family! I moved next door to a one bedroom and I am totally happy in Garden Way in Eugene OR.

A friendly place

I was impressed when I moved here that so many of the staff and residents seemed to make the kind choice, when one has to be made. It makes for a caring friendly community. I do enjoy liking here and do recommend it.

I do not live near family. I feel cared for here.

Pre Covid, I was meeting weekly with a small group of women about 6 or 7 of us. When it came time for me to look for a retirement place, I thought back to that experience and remembered that the people I met in the hall always looked happy! I have found that to be true. There are many activities to keep us occupied and support if someone needs help.

Look no further.

When I toured Garden Way it was the second place I looked at out of 6. I knew immediately that it was the right fit for my Mom. So much so if I had time to cancel the other tours I lined up I would have done so. The staff at Garden Way are masterful at all the small things that make a person feel at home.

Garden Way is a place you can call home

Wonderful staff, very clean facilities and well taken care of. Very nice and comfy apartments. The residents are friendly and very helpful. The food is very good and they have lots of choices. The fresh fruit and salad bar is so nice. There are lots of things to keep you busy such as a theater, game room, arts & crafts, exercise classes and guest speakers. The courtyard off the dining Area is beautiful.

tour review

Our family had an in person tour and this was actually our second choice and it was our first tour out of many. It was very very nice experience and we thought the lady who led the tour was great. The price was about the same as our loved ones current community but they just did not have much of a back outdoor area and that was something we were looking for

Tour of Garden Way

[name removed] who we spoke with on the phone about Garden Way was fantastic and very accommodating. Unfortunately washers and dryers are not inside the units which was a big must for my mom.

A good experience

We did think the value for cost was pretty good, and even though our loved one did not eat the meals the meals and dining service itself looked to be pretty good.

My Grandmother is doing great

My grandmother is doing really well here, she is still very independent and she likes being a part of the activities and field trips they offer, she even likes the food and going to the dining room. She has started to make friends with some of the other residents. I would definitely recommend this community for its independent living.

We Had to Pass on This Community

I had the chance to talk with them before trying to visit them. They were very nice to talk with and were upfront with me when I was asking questions. Unfortunately the price and location was not the right fit for us but they were helpful in the process of our search for a community.

The Community is Active Here

My mom is doing great and she loves it there. This was her pick, mostly because she knew someone here and it was more fitting for her. The community is clean and smelled good. The residents are active, she exercises and walks around the building. The residents get incentives for doing little things and they can use the "money" to buy what they like at the auction.

Mom is loving it!!

My mom has recently made the move into this community and so far we are very happy with how things are going for her. She is always saying how friendly and helpful all of the staff are. My mother is loving not having to cook and enjoys the social environment with the other residents. She often is participating in the exercise and enjoys the different events they bring on campus. Overall it has been the perfect fit for her and we are pleased.
