I moved into Willamette Oaks last year after a fall and broken wrist, when I remembered with my children that Willamette Oaks just down the street from where I was then living, had often been the place with beautiful grounds that drew my attention during my daily walks along the Willamette River. After retirement in Cincinnati I had moved to Eugene to be close to my daughter. We made an appointment to visit WO from the inside and all of us were impressed with the friendliness of the staff, the beauty of the surroundings and the home-like atmosphere as we toured the living spaces, the library, exercise room, theater and model apartments and views from the windows. Passing smiling residents in the hallways who were known by our representative were impressive, as well as the views of Delta Ponds and the Willamette River from the windows as we passed. It is now over a year since my arrival here and I can say that I am very happy to be with people with interesting stories who are most often going through similar experiences. I have found friends and kinship with other residents and an almost endless array of activities planned by our involved Programs staff. One has the sense that support staff like working here and are available and more than willing to help with questions and general settling in. The amazing raised garden beds and benches to sit in a quiet place surrounded by beauty is a wonderful attraction here. There is a great feeling of safety here as well, and if I am unsure of something, an answer is always found. The best part of living here is the many people with whom I eat every evening, who agree that WO is a wonderful place to live with the surrounding beauty, support of involved and caring staff, amenities and chance to live our lives with safety measures and a variety of interesting activities to meet almost every interest.

We moved in 2 years ago & have made new friends with both residents & staff. The grounds are impeccably beautiful; we are well fed; staff is available 24/7; activities are available every day & include interesting outings in clean, comfortable busses owned by Willamette Oaks; our apartment & the common areas are superbly maintained. This is our home. 😊☺️

Our residents enjoyed a beautiful day at Sweet Cheeks Winery. From learning about the winemaking process (and seeing those impressive stacks of barrels!) to sipping wine with a view of the valley, it was the perfect mix of education and enjoyment. Big thanks to Jessica for such an informative tour, and to our group for making it such a fun afternoon together. Cheers to friendship, good wine, and new experiences!

Our latest adventure took us to the mini golf course, where friendly competition, sunshine, and lots of laughter were par for the course. Pat even scored a hole in one! Go, Pat! After working up an appetite on the greens, we headed to the river for some well-earned pizza and great conversation.

We celebrated the Fourth of July with a splash, literally! Team LifeMinded hit the streets for the Butte to Butte 5K, then kept the energy going back home with lawn games, water fights, and some seriously competitive patio play.

This was our ever thrifting adventure with Mia! We weren’t sure what we’d find, but turns out the racks were full of treasures. No idea how we’ve never done this before, but it definitely won’t be the last time.
