Merrill Gardens at Sheldon Park

I’ve been very happy with my dad’s experience here so far. The staff is wonderful. Everyone we’ve encountered has been friendly, helpful, and genuinely kind. The facility itself is really nice and very clean, and his room has everything he needs to be comfortable. There are also lots of activities available, which has been great for keeping him engaged and involved. The food is honestly good, I know this firsthand because I’ve been joining him for lunch. Overall, it’s been a very positive experience, and we feel good knowing he’s well cared for.

My wife and I began looking for an assisted living facility last summer. After I made a cursory online search of local options and collected a list of possibilities I was advised to get professional guidance and did so. Following a consult to determine our needs she went over our list, ordered them, and Merrill Gardens was her top recommendation. After visiting three we felt comfortable that Merrill could suit our needs. An opening occurred there within weeks of our visit and we moved in four months ago. We have been very pleased that our process led us to them. The staff outnumbers the residents and not enough can be said about how uniformly pleasant they are. Activities are numerous and varied enough to suit all tastes. They provide a monthly list of all activities which are updated daily. My wife is particularly pleased with the musical performers they bring in to entertain us, typically three times a week. A bus is available for doctor, shopping and country-side touring trips. Food options are tasty and varied regularly and though under-spiced, perhaps understandably so, our chef has been quick to provide hot sauces on request. A nice feature is the on-demand list of salads, hot and cold sandwiches, desserts and other quick items. Merrill accepts pets and they have an enclosed courtyard that can be used to walk them, or to just sit and enjoy the quiet.

I have been associated with Merrill Gardens Sheldon Park for many years. I have been able to refer families there as part of my job, and every family has been extremely happy and has felt cared for. The number of nurses they have, the experienced staff, they have people that have worked together for years, and the leadership that hasn’t changed for many years is amazing. I will continue to refer to them and would recommend them highly to anyone who is looking for a really great community for them or their loved ones. Incredible, devoted, experienced, trustworthy! Check them out!

My dad moved from an assisted living facility half way across the country to Merrill Gardens at Sheldon Park. From beginning the process of investigating the different Eugene facilities to the move in process and meeting all the staff, our family has had a very pleasant experience with Merrill Gardens. There is a lively atmosphere and all the residents we have encountered appear to be happy to call Merrill Gardens their home. They have longevity in their management team and the caregivers and med techs are attentive and very personable. My dad has felt comfortable and at home since the day he moved in.
