Merrill Gardens at Sheldon Park was nice and clean-looking. The staff was wonderful and amazing. The lady that we've been talking to was an amazing person. She does a great job.

Merrill Gardens at Sheldon Park is a beautiful and very well-maintained community. My mom's apartment is spacious and lovely. She's got lots of dining options and the staff has been very kind. She's only been there a couple of weeks, but she's been very happy.
Their menu offers several options for each meal. So, it's nice that the residents get to choose and the dining room is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. They can go in any time they want and there are certain menu items that they can get at any time of the day. So, that's nice. They have to scale back the activities because of COVID, but they offer different activities normally, from Taichi to crafts and more. It's a pretty expensive place, but, I think under normal non-COVID circumstances, the value is probably a lot better.

Sheldon Park is the only one that we visited, and my parents are not ready to go yet. Nevertheless, they were wonderful, and they were very helpful. I would recommend them as excellent in trying to get us through the process. The staff members were fantastic, very helpful, and very knowledgeable.

Sheldon Park Assisted Living ambiance is amazing! The high ceilings everywhere makes the inside feel very open and airy. My experience with the care providers including the receptionist, move in coordinator, program coordinator, maintenance men, bus driver, caregivers, medication technicians and nurses is very impressive. I value the care my dad receives and I truly enjoy my time spent at Sheldon Park Assisted Living.

Sheldon Park Assisted Living looked really good, and the people seemed pleasant. The place was very nice, new, and very clean. Sandra was very nice and she really tried to help. The dining area was very nice and very clean. The residents have assigned seating and the meals seemed really good. They have Bible studies, knitting classes, card games, and get-togethers.

I had the opportunity to tour at Sheldon Park recently. The atmosphere was so welcoming and friendly, it felt like walking into a friends home. Everyone was so friendly, it was very clean and nicely decorated. All the Residents that we came across were happy to talk to us and raved about the activity program. They have activities 7 days a week and a large variety in order to cater to as many Residents as possible. The staff were very good with the Residents and I enjoyed the tour very much.

I toured this facility and was very impressed. The staff was very knowledgeable and took time answering any questions we had. I felt they genuinely cared about our family and the process we were going through and how important this decision is for us. I highly recommend this facility!

I have been searching for a comfortable and relaxing and quiet environment in the Eugene area. I was very glad to have happened upon Sheldon Park. I couldn't have been more impressed with the facility. Expert level care and kindness seem to play a key role at this facility. I saw residents engaging in wonderful activities and communicating well with each other. I couldn't help but notice the sense of being home that everyone seemed to convey. All the staff I had the pleasure of meeting were heart warming and very pleasurable and very knowledgeable. It is a beautiful and charming facility.

Sheldon Park Assisted Living was OK, but it was not exactly what my parents were looking for. It was too expensive also. The staff was very helpful. They explained everything very well.

Just started the search for a community for my parents. I was immediately impressed with the friendly staff and pleasant environment. The residents sitting in the lobby looked happy and even answered some of my questions. I did not have an appointment, but they seemed happy to take me on a tour of the building and even offered lunch. I was glad to see such nice apartments and a few floor plans to choose from.. I will be back with my parents and take them up on that lunch..

I couldn’t be happier with Sheldon Park for the care of my Grandma! Everything about the facility is top notch! The smiling employees at the front door make you feel right at home. The facility is well taken care of with the cleanest amenities. The staff is so caring and provides the best personalized care. I have participated in the fun daily activities and it is truly a joy to see all the residents having fun and engaging with one another! I enjoy visiting during meal times…every meal is delicious with such variety! It is so comforting knowing that my Grandma is in the best hands, gets great care and loves her home! Thank you Sheldon Park!

We toured Sheldon Park. It was really great and had a nice memory care program. The outdoor area was contained in the middle of the building, which was nice. The rooms were great. It was close to our home, which was very nice. They had a library. The dining room was very nice, spacious, clean, and very light. The staff was very helpful.

The warm and welcoming atmosphere makes it feel like you are entering a friends home. The times I have visited the staff are always friendly and caring with the residents. The building is decorated for each Holiday which makes it nice for everyone who lives there and visits. Activities are the best in town and the Residents always have something to do. Sheldon Park is the best Assisted Living Facility in Eugene/Springfield area.

One of the hardest decisions for any family to make is to send an aging parent to Assisted Living or "the home” as some people call it. Our 89 year old mother was recovering from serious health issues and because of the need for trained medical care and management of medications we were unable to care for her at home. We talked about Assisted Living for a short period while she recovered and selected Sheldon Park because of the beautiful facility, incredible staff and the care available. Mom is now recovered and when asked about moving back home she tells us to move somebody else into the house because she is having too much fun at Sheldon Park. They handle her medications, do the cooking, spoil her with kindness and care and best of all give her the opportunity to choose every day what activity she is going to participate in. She has made numerous friends and enjoys visiting daily with all of therm. In fact, it is hard to ever find her in her room because she is a very happy and busy lady.
Sheldon Park is an amazing place with incredible caregivers, staff and administrators. We highly recommend it!!!

I visited Sheldon Park, and I was not impressed. I did not like the fact that the memory care people were pushed off into an area, which seemed dark and dreary. They weren’t with the rest of the people like in the assisted living; they were definitely in their own little world. However, the grounds were ample and nice. I remembered that there were some people that were sitting at the table and smiled and talked to us as we went through like, “Hello,” and we tried to “Hello” back, but they rushed you through there. They would not let you linger.

Our tour at the Sheldon Park Senior Living was fine, and the place was very nice. The staff gave us information on what we needed to do. The place looked comfortable, and the residents were doing OK. It looked like they had a lot of activities for the residents and was very organized. The room was very nice. The dining area was very clean and very pretty, and they served good food.

I have met several of the staff at Sheldon Park. They continually strive to meet the needs not only of their residents but also of the community by providing education about chronic conditions and ways to manage memory loss. If I helped a relative choose assisted living or memory care services, Sheldon Park would be on my list because staff are dedicated to providing appropriate & quality services.

I visited Sheldon Park. It was clean. They provide three meals a day, which were served restaurant style, were very nicely presented, and tasted excellent. They had studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms, but they were pricey. The staff was excellent. The facility really meets our needs, but, they need more things in the activity room. I saw the planned activities for the month, and they have a big game room, a small game area that was very nice, a pool table, and things to do for when your family and grandkids come. It was very nice, and everything was very clean.

I am a student at the U of O and I visited Sheldon Park a couple weeks ago for a class project. They were putting on a jazz concert for their residents. As soon as I entered the building I was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful and modern it was. I didn't feel like I was in a nursing home. I was immediately assisted by someone at the door who greeted me with a smile. Jennipher was the most helpful and answered any questions I asked her and continued to check on me throughout my time at Sheldon Park even though she was busy with the event. The residents were so pleasant and happy compared to other nursing homes I have visited in the past. I look forward to volunteering there in the future.

I have been to Sheldon park assisted living on a few different occasions and have found the staff to be very tentative and helpful. The building has always appeared very clean and smells clean. I haven't tried their food there, but it smells good. I always see the residents smiling and active within the building. I will definitely look into this facility for placement of my loved one when the time comes.

We moved my mom here in June and couldn't be happier. The staff is fabulous and I feel Ike they really got to know mom and work with her based on her needs. Mom is happy and we are too!

The staff was great at Sheldon Park Senior Living. My mom was not well enough to participate in any of the activities, but they had some great ones. Her apartment was very nice. It was a studio with a small kitchenette and a bathroom. The dining room was very spacious.

My mother has been living at Sheldon Park assisted living for over two years and we have been pleased with her care. She moved from out-of-state and the transition was handled with care and she felt very welcomed. The facility is always clean and bright and there is good programing for residents. Staff are friendly and know the residents by name. I feels like her home now!

The one I liked the most was Sheldon Park. It just seemed like a very nice place. People could go in if they wanted to or whenever they were hungry, they had snacks available all day, and they just kind of offered a less regimented type of schedule. They had an activity room there for painting and stuff, but there was nobody in there at that time. They have painting classes, and they did field trips and all kinds of stuff. The rooms were all clean, well-lit, and bright. They were just like any other places' rooms, but they were nice.

Sheldon Park seemed like a clean facility and seemed like it was all around. It seemed like that all that you would want was there -- including the engaging type programs involving the society. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

We visited several communities, and we have chosen Sheldon Park. We just knew it was good, so we looked at it. They showed us around and showed us what we wanted. The staff was very kind and invited us to lunch a couple of times. The food was good, and the dining setup was nice. They have a lot of activities like bingo, art classes, and health classes. I don't know what else they have, but they have something going on every day. Security seems to be topnotch, and I never heard any problems about it.

I would say Sheldon Park is a very nice facility. I think that all of my dad's needs would have been met there. That is my first facility, so I didn't have anything to compare it to, but looking back having seen several places, I would say it is one of the nicer communities. I didn't see anything alarming at all.

They have very nice facilities. They're probably a little nicer. I would really like to put my mother there, but they were not Medicaid-approved.

My mom moved into Sheldon Park, and she really likes it. It makes sense for her to stay there because my brother sees her every day. She has a lovely apartment. It's very quiet. Her memory is failing very badly, so it is good to have her in a place where we feel she's being watched over and taken care of. She's really enjoying it there. She loves the activities. However, she says, "There's nothing much going on here," so I think they can improve on their activities. They do not provide transportation. They don't have any shuttles on Sunday. So my mother is on her own to go to mass, and my brother has to go and take her.

The staff was welcoming and friendly, the environment was clean and felt very warm unlike what i expected, not hospital and sterilized feeling. It felt as though there was a community atmosphere there. At Sheldon park there are several activities and involving events for residents to do which makes things feel more like everyday life then a nursing or assisted living home. it seemed residents were happy and healthy as well as motivated and independent. The people living there seemed to feel safe and at home. the dining style was great instead of a cafeteria feel it was more like a casual restaurant. The rooms offer an at home feel with a kitchenette and spacious floor plan. between the salon, the library, the billiard room, and the movie theater there are several things to fill free time with.
