Waterford Grand sits along the river in Eugene, Oregon, and has 86 beds for seniors who need different levels of care, so you'll find options for assisted living, memory care for dementia, short-term respite stays, and even independent living for healthy, active seniors who want help with chores and meals but still like to do things on their own, and it's all managed by Cascade Living, which has a good name when it comes to senior care around the area. Folks here have their choice of studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, an emergency call system for safety, and either a patio or balcony, so there's room to get some fresh air and listen to the birds without leaving your apartment, and couples with different needs can stick together because the community offers custom care plans tailored to each person.
Security systems and 24-hour staff help make the place feel safe, and people say the staff is friendly and helpful, and they take care of things like housekeeping, laundry, and transportation for doctor visits or outings, plus there's medication management for those who want help keeping track of pills. The property feels open and well cared for, and you'll see landscaped courtyards, riverwalks, and green areas with water features and paths to walk on, which is good for anyone who likes being outdoors or watching waterfowl passing by.
Residents can use the indoor pool-which is easy to access and has a river view-for swimming or water aerobics, and the fitness center offers classes through their EverFit program with trained staff who help with exercises; for those who like to get hair done or need a little pampering, there's a beauty salon and a full-service spa, and services cover basic grooming and styling. The community serves meals in a restaurant setting, with a real executive chef preparing daily specials and EverDine à la carte menus, so every meal can feel a bit like dining out, and there's a bistro café and options for alfresco meals or small gatherings in private dining rooms if family visit or friends want a quieter spot.
The activities program gives everyone a chance to stay busy and involved, whether it's movie nights in the on-site theater, arts and crafts, social clubs, game nights, music, chair yoga, off-campus excursions to Eugene's art and parks scene, or happy hours managed by the activities director, so you're never far from company or something to do. There's a business center with computers, bookshelves, and cozy seats for anyone who wants to read, write letters, or keep up with family; pets are welcome, too.
The building's set up with high ceilings, fireplaces, and warm colors that make it all feel homelike and comfortable. Memory care is provided for seniors living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, and there are staff trained to help with every stage of memory loss, aiming to reduce confusion and wandering, and there are specialized programs for cognitive support. Assisted living residents get help with daily needs like bathing or dressing so they can keep independence where possible, and personalized care plans let each person decide how much support is right for them. There's home care, too, for those who want some extra help while staying independent, and the whole place is set up to make sure dignity, privacy, and choice stick around as people age.
Waterford Grand allows pets, offers transportation, and provides many life-enrichment activities to support well-being-spiritual, emotional, cultural, and social-and it's built to help each person feel part of a community while giving choices about how to live every day, and it's recognized for good care and friendliness, without a lot of fuss or hype.
