Each home accommodates 10-11 residents, featuring shared kitchens, outdoor spaces, and structured routines to reduce confusion. Staff members receive ongoing training in dementia care techniques, ensuring residents maintain dignity through personalized support with daily living activities, medication management, and emotional well-being. The small-group setting fosters meaningful social connections while private rooms accommodate individual needs.
Adult Day Care
This daytime program supports families caring for loved ones with memory loss. Participants receive assistance with personal care, enjoy chef-prepared meals, and engage in structured activities designed to stimulate cognitive function. The program offers respite for caregivers while maintaining residents' routines through consistent scheduling and familiar staff interactions. Transportation coordination is available for local participants seeking convenient access to care services.
Respite Program
Our respite stays provide temporary housing for memory care residents, offering caregivers relief while maintaining continuity of care.

Participants enjoy recreational therapy, music sessions, and community outings tailored to their abilities, promoting independence while building supportive relationships in a stimulating environment.
Questions

Our small-group homes with shared kitchens and outdoor spaces create a homelike atmosphere that reduces confusion. Staff focus on personalized care plans rather than institutional routines.

Can families visit residents anytime?
While we encourage regular visits, we recommend coordinating with staff to ensure visits align with residents' care routines and rest periods.
How do you handle medical emergencies?
Our trained staff maintains regular communication with local healthcare providers and follows established protocols for urgent medical situations.

Some homes maintain therapy pets that residents help care for, though personal pets require prior approval based on safety assessments.

My wife (Janet) was admitted to Elder Health & Living on April 27th, 2021. She passed away on November 18th, 2021. She started out in Cascade House, and became agitated by the noise from one of the other patients. She was moved to Redwood House for about one month, where she started moving around a lot in her Merry Walker, bothering other residents. She was then moved to Mt. Hood House where she had more room to move about.
Each time they wanted to move Janet they would call me and discuss the options. They would then move her without any inconvenience to me. I therefore had the opportunity to observe caretakers interacting with patients in three houses for a period of six months. Every caretaker I watched was sweet, kind, and careful, but firm with the patients. They were absolutely fantastic in their dealings with the patients and I cannot say enough good things about them.
The care Janet received was exemplary. I recommend Elder Health & Living without reservation to anyone considering a care facility for a loved one. I would like to send a big warm hug to each of the caretakers who worked with Janet. You made me feel confident that Janet was very well cared for.

ElderHealth & Living Memory Village is a remarkable facility that provides quality memory care in a family environment. We were introduced to ElderHealth & Living thru the Day Care program known as The Club. My lovely bride enjoyed the fellowship of other memory challenged participants. The Club offered a wide range of activities and field trips. Her participation in The Club instilled a new life in her daily activities As it became more difficult to care for my wife at home we explored ElderHealth & Living Memory Village residential program.
We are currently in our third year of residential living at ElderHealth & Living Memory Village. The quality of care far exceeds our expectations. Residents are treated with respect and compassion by well trained staff. Our family is so pleased that a Memory Care of this quality is available in the Eugene/Springfield area.

I am so thankful I found Elder Health and Living when the time came to find residential memory care for my mother. Every member of the staff I've ever encountered has been absolutely amazing. I appreciate their patience and skill in helping me engineer this challenging transition, but most of all I am continually floored by their collective efforts to get to know mom and tailor her activities and experiences to what they know she will love and respond to.
Every week, I encounter a new reason to be awed by the dedication, professionalism, and kindness of the caregivers and support staff at EHL. Mom is thriving thanks to their compassionate care, and I am eternally grateful for the quality they have added to her life-- and mine!

What a wonderful community ElderHealth & Living is! Having onsite owners and an onsite medical team is essential! Not only do they offer long term memory care but also offer respite stays, day care in one of the 9 memory care homes as well as a day Club program which offers cognitive stimulation for those still living at home 4 days a week! As a care partner having respite of your own that you can count on is key when caring for someone with a memory loss diagnosis. Kudos to EH&L Memory Village for being leaders in memory care.

What a beautiful setting. Where a home is really a home. ElderHealth & Living Memory Village is a place that makes sense for those with memory loss diseases. From the warm smiles at our Welcome Center to the smells of home cooked meals (especially the zucchini bread) we are always amazed! The caregivers at EHL are so incredibly special and have hearts bigger than we could ever ask for.

I can't say enough about the quality of care my dad receives at EH&L. Small group homes, healthy meals, and appropriate activities are some of the many benefits to living there. The staff at EH&L know memory loss and the fact that all residents have some form of it makes this type of living arrangement ideal. The caregivers are enthusiastic, positive and caring to everyone, including the residents' families.

I see so much compassion from the staff every time I visit. The one thing that sums up the community feel of ElderHealth & Living is they way employees will come out of their offices when a resident walks by and the take time to greet and chat with them. I have seen this so many times and it never fails to warm my heart. The over all feel is so much different than other care facilities I've visited.
The residents are encouraged to remain independent and active and to participate in life, not just sit quietly in front of a TV. I've seen them playing games, folding laundry, helping to cook dinner, and going for walks around the campus. They aren't treated like patients at all but like human beings going about their daily lives in their homes. The more I see of ElderHealth & Living, the more impressed I become with what it offers our community.
