Gateway Gardens in Eugene offers assisted-living care that is structured to address both routine and complex health needs. Residents who wander or are at risk for elopement receive monitoring throughout the day and evening, while those who require oxygen therapy, special diets, or diabetic management—whether on oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin—have protocols in place to support them. The community also accommodates adults under 60 who need assisted-living services, and respite or short-term stays are available for families seeking temporary support. On-site access to a physician and speech therapy rounds out the medical support framework.
The residence is a secured community, adding a layer of safety for individuals living with cognitive changes. Licensed nurses oversee medication management and coordinate care plans that may include memory care, incontinence assistance, and ambulatory or hospice services. The building is designed to accommodate memory loss, and therapy professionals—occupational, physical, and podiatric—provide scheduled visits to help residents maintain mobility, function, and foot health. This multidisciplinary staffing model aims to reduce outside appointments and keep most healthcare services on campus.
Living spaces vary, and not every apartment contains the same features. Available options include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable or satellite TV connections, Wi-Fi, and wheelchair-accessible showers. Housekeeping, scheduled laundry, handicap accessibility, and air-conditioning are standard, while select areas feature a central fireplace, piano, or direct access to outdoor seating. On-site parking is offered for residents and guests.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style, with an all-day dining option for added flexibility. Residents can request vegetarian, gluten-free, low-sodium, or no-sugar selections, and special diets prescribed by healthcare providers are accommodated. Guest meals are available so family and friends can join a resident for lunch or dinner.
Gateway Gardens provides an activity center, indoor and outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, and a swimming pool for low-impact exercise. Programming includes karaoke, happy hour, yoga and chair yoga, Montessori and reminiscence sessions, sensory-based activities, and intergenerational events. Residents can join clubs, use the library and computer lounge, attend live-music performances, celebrate birthdays, and participate in scheduled social outings.
