I asked for management to call me and I'm still waiting for that call it's been 2 days now. I would really really not recommend putting your loved ones there. They are also under staffed and don't care. They are rude to the residents and act like it's a inconvenience when you ask for help.

We selected Gateway Living Residential Care in Springfield for my dear father near the end of his…read morelife. I actually visited a number of facilities before we made the decision. Then I went down to Lane County where they have the complaint reports on these types of facilities. Boy was that eye opening. At one very nice facility someone was stealing pain medication from elderly people. At another, staff was roughly handling (shoving) elderly people. I didn't really want my father abused. After reading all the reports on many facilities, we selected Gateway. I was so pleased with their care and their kindness toward my father. Unfortunately, my elderly father has passed away, and I miss him. But I will never regret that I put him in a place where kindness was such a high priority.

The Springs Memory Care and staff was amazing. The beautiful building and well thought out memory…read morecare facility is what attracted us to the Springs, but the STAFF and the kindness inside the building is what made the difference. The memory care director is easily accessible and often found on the floor helping. The memory care has a full time RN with his office located in memory care, the meals are prepared on site and served warm and fresh. Everyone from the director, aides, chefs, entertainment director and housekeeper were involved in my dad's care. Moving a loved one into memory care was not easy, but during my father's year at the Springs, he was well cared for and was able to stay at the Springs and pass peacefully on hospice care. My father had been in multiple facilities in the Eugene area and it was not until we moved into the Spring's Memory Care that we felt he was safe, well cared for and stimulated with activities.

For what elderly people pay to live here, they aren't getting anything special. Growing up around…read morenursing homes, I have no respect for this place. It's a nice facility, but there are problems. I've had family stay here before, and I think there are a lot better options out there. My biggest pet peeve about any type of assisted living facility versus a hospital or nursing home is the fact that the employees aren't required to go through any training through the Oregon State Board of Nursing to work here. Any idiot on the planet can work here. Which includes passing out narcotics to patients/residents. I don't know about anyone else, but I find someone without any certification or training handing out narcotics to be a problem. The food leaves a lot to be desired. Again, I doubt they hire anyone who knows how to cook, budget, or portion it correctly. I am not remotely impressed. Usually in places like this they will have a nutritionist on staff, and the head of the kitchen will have a degree. Not just a random person who can cook at home. The facility is nice, like I said. For cleanliness and being aesthetically pleasing, it gets an A plus. They have a very small parking lot, that isn't sectioned off, or marked in any way, which I think it should be. It should be marked for residents, employees, and visitors. That way everyone parks in the correct area, and residents aren't left parking at the end of the lot and walking way more than they can actually handle. The parking lot is also very small. I think it needs to be a little bit bigger to handle all of the employees, residents, and visitors. They also abuse the fire lane. The administrator will park her truck there, in a marked loading zone for paramedics and fire trucks. Long after I had a family member live here, I had to go in for work, and I had hopes that they had improved. I was disappointed. Employees are less than friendly. I've had to deliver newspapers in here, which they let me in the door, I had to ring a doorbell. I was let in, and since it wasn't normally my route, I had to ask the employee who typically delivered them. Some places have the staff do it, some have the carrier do it, it varies by each place. The employee cops a total attitude, and instead of just saying I needed to deliver to each individual room, she says, "I hope you don't expect me to deliver those for you." I thought she could have approached that in a totally different manner that didn't come across in such a hostile way. I had no problem doing it myself, but I wanted confirmation as to how it was typically done. Is it a place I would recommend? Absolutely not. It gets two stars for being a clean facility, but that's about the extent of the positive aspect of this place. Like I said, there are far better assisted living facilities out there, with much better employees as well.
