Reviews Willamette Oaks
April 2026
It is the best retirement community in this area! I enjoy this place very much. My wife and I have lived here 3 times and we still love it.
April 2026
I moved here from Tucson, Arizona a year and a half ago — big change! With our peaceful location on the Willamette River and the beautiful grounds, it’s easy to lose a sense of how close we are to city traffic and services. Perhaps the greatest value of this place is the sense of upbeat community. We all know and feel supported by one another. It starts at the top with staff members cheerfully working together and seeing each resident as an individual. The attitude spreads throughout, creating a comfortable, welcoming environment with individuality encouraged. From an assortment of fitness classes to creative writing to gardening to African drumming to art & craft classes to film presentations to educational lectures to walks along the river to holiday celebrations to brain-stimulating games to…, there’s always something going on.

We love living here at Willamette Oaks. Being on the river is such a beautiful experience every day. I enjoy all the activities plus living with like minded people. Our dinners are excellent and we are very happy here.

I've now been living at Willamette Oaks for nearly 3 years. I was impressed from the start with this facility and the staff that attend to us. I wrote a post shortly after moving here (shown below), but wanted to add that I have developed deep friendships over time with both other residents and staff. In short, Willamette Oaks not only fulfills my physical needs, but has enriched my life through these friendships. Original Post: I've been living at Willamette Oaks for about 9 months and absolutely love it! The staff (including management, maintenance, housekeeping, social programs and dining services) are not only attentive to our needs, but they provide an atmosphere of genuine interest in the lives of all who live here. A variety of programs is offered for residents' participation spanning from health & wellness improvement using the fitness facility to activities for overall enjoyment and amusement. Finally, the sense of community among all the residents is like living with an enormous family who care about each other. An atmosphere that is a step above and beyond.

My wife and I have lived here for 10 years and love it. We checked other places before we chose this one but nothing could match the setting next to the Willamette River and Delta Ponds. I love to walk and can walk right out of he building onto the bike path. What we didn't realize when we moved in was what a great staff they have here. Their warmth and helpfulness makes this a real community. I feel very lucky to be living here.
March 2026
Willamette Oaks seems to be more like a resort than a retirement home. With it's residents gardening plots and it's many activities such as the "move to improve" class, yoga classes, concerts, monthly parties, drum circle, and many other activities and the wonderful grounds for walking, is head and shoulders above other senior living communities. The rooms are spacious and well kept, the help staff is wonderful and friendly and the dining is wonderful. Everything is designed to enhance the level of sociability between the residents and between the staff and residents making this a wonderful place to live.
March 2026
The staff is the greatest! We all live it here! Two years after my wife died I realized I was lonely. I checked out Willamette Oaks and liked what I saw. It has a nice layout and it id right next to the Willamette River Bike Path! I just love it here - like being back in college. Every night I have dinner at a table for four or six - all fun people. We are all at the same chapter of our lives One of the best things is “The Writing Group” which meets for an hour each week. We are all writing our memoirs and we share our experiences. The other class I like is “Move to Improve” - a 45 minute workout class every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday! And best of all is our excellent staff. Lots of high school and college kids trying to make a buck - they all love us and we love them!

It was a very hard decision to leave my house and yard but once I did I never looked back. I have a comfortable apartment overlooking the river with everything I need at hand. The staff are caring, fun to be around and always ready to help. I enjoy a variety of classes, field trips, tend my garden plot and try to walk daily on the bike path. I have made many new, interesting friends. Life is good here! Oh, and I don’t have to cook dinner!

W we moved to Williams oaks a year and half ago. The staff is wonderful and knows everyone personally. The grounds are beautiful and well kept, all eleven acres period. The people that live in the community are warm and friendly. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

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 enjoyed a wonderful Mother's Day lunch Lovely live music, photo ops and the food and table service was terrific!’•

I'm in my fourth year of living at Willamette Oaks. Every day here offers both staff arranged and resident implemented programs. My days are busy with occasional boutique shifts, attending Tuesday community meetings, knitting with a group of hand art enthusiasts, playing canasta, learning Tai Chi, participating in a news and views discussion group as well as another that is literature sharing centered. Oaks' transportation is available for grocery shopping, medical appointments and library visits in addition to the occasional theater experience, interest driven seasonal trips, visits to local events, eateries, and regional celebrations. Health is encouraged via classes, a gym and staff lead 5K walking programs.
April 2025
I came to Willamette Oaks last August. Widowed in 2005, I moved from my Eugene house to an apartment in 2015 when maintenance became a problem. Apartment living solved maintenance worries, but after nine more years I decided that I needed more socialization and a prepared lunch or dinner once a day. Here there are many lively residents, probing interest groups and fitness activities. The “Life Minded” motto says it all. Although I use a walker when I go any distance because of back issues, I was able to participate in the Eugene Marathon 5K because of the outstanding fitness staff. Raised beds make gardening a joy, and river views from both of my rooms nuture peace.
April 2025
I am an outdoors person and my wife is an indoor person and we both love Willamette Oaks. It has something for everyone. My favorite daily activity is walking on the path alone the Willamette River. Willamette Oaks boarders on this river. There are wildlife, numerous city parks, City Rose Garden, and miles of paved paths. She prefers to do her walking inside along with various activities provided. We are very comfortable that we made the right decision to come to Willamette Oaks. Come and see for yourself as everybody here is very welcoming and helpful.

I have lived at Willamette Oaks for 2 years. It is independent living with perks in a beautiful riverside setting.
March 2025
I moved into Willamette Oaks more than five years ago. I am very happy and grateful to live in such a beautiful area of Eugene. The residents here are friendly and interesting. The staff is amazing. They support each other and work as a team. They treat all of us residents with dignity and respect. I oversee the garden where we have 22 beds. The garden looks out on the ponds and is such a relaxing place to work and rest. There is so much more I could say. Stop by sometime.
March 2025
I have lived at Willamette Oaks a little over a year and could not be more satisfied. The location (along the river), the extensive gardens and beautiful facility are like living in a well maintained resort. There are many and varied activities we can choose to participate in, beautiful dining experience with friendly and attentive wait staff, hair salon, gym and fitness classes, movies, music performances, and much more. But, the best thing about Willamette Oaks is the exceedingly helpful and friendly staff and the residences. I found a whole group of people I enjoy spending time with and have made many friends.
March 2025
Willamette Oaks is an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a healthy and friendly atmosphere. The staff is exemplary and truly stand behind their promises. I highly recommend them.
March 2025
There are differences between retirement facilities. I know because I've lived in more than one and accompanied friends as they checked out everything available. And that ranged from the new and shiny to others that have been around awhile and are a little beat up. Well, just like some cars I've had were alive and some cars were just cars, Willamette Oaks is alive. The rest is up to you.
March 2025
We are in our 6th year at W.O. Between us we have gotten involved in several programs and games as well as bus trips to various events in the county. With the 12 acres, there is room to roam and walk. The Willamette River right behind us including a bench right next to the water. The walk/bike trail of 12 miles goes past us next to the river as well. We have had a garden bed for the time we have been here which is continually updated. Wildlife is abundant here including a gaggle of Canadian geese led by a white Pilgrim goose (nicknamed Egbert by the wait staff) The dining room is pleasant. The food is adequate and sometimes great. The staff is the best thing about W.O...all of them are friendly and say hello whenever you see them. They will also joke with you but always maintain a certain distance which is best in our opinion. The library where i help out has approximately 2,000 volumes and is well organized. The rooms are adequate and well insulated. If you are looking for a place to live...We can say it is the best deal in town. Below is a pic from our window in the spring. Bob and Sylvia Taylor

Hi. I've been living here about six months now and it's a very lovely facility. Right on the Willamette River, which is quite a treat. The residents are very friendly, the staff is extraordinary, lots of interesting activities, and the food is good. Come on by and take a tour and have a lunch on them.

Nancy and I moved in a year ago after a careful evaluation of several alternatives. Our children were useful advisors. We felt that the physical plant was excellent and the staff seemed friendly and competent. After a year, we are convinced that we made the best possible choice. The physical plant is very well maintained. The services are well managed by uniformly careful and friendly staff members. The best, however, are the residents who have been attracted to Willamette Oaks. Incredibly diverse, friendly and engaged.

We chose this place based on recommendation after visiting other options. My mother, the resident, loves it here and my family is very happy to have her here locally at such a great place with excellent staff beautiful grounds and just great living experience for my mom who wants to be here.
October 2023
I have lived at Willamette Oaks for a year and a half. It is a great place to live, with beautiful landscaping, river views, and access to the bike path. The residents are interesting, friendly people. The food is very good. A wide variety of activities are offered, and the staff is consistently helpful and kind. I can’t imagine a senior residence that is better than this one.

Google Maps lists this as an assisted living facility, but it's not. It's actually an independent living but you can arrange for assisted living services to come in to help you if you need it. Excellent, caring staff. Beautifully kept grounds. I tried to suggest an edit but there isn't a label that matches.
May 2022
Such a wonderful place! The staff is attentive, friendly and extremely caring. I am so impressed with the location right on the river. The activities are engaging and everyone seems to love living here. I highly recommend this place!

My mom has been at WO since 2006 and at almost 101, she hopes to spend the rest of her life there. Although they have laundry rooms to use, she has a lady pick up her laundry and returns it the same day for a small fee. She exercises most weekdays, has her hair done in their beauty shop, plays Poker, Pokeno and Bingo, participates in a weekly drumming and percussion event, often attends the many music programs they offer in house, and has enjoyed having free transportation to grocery stores and cultural event around Lane County. The staff is very friendly and attentive to residents' needs, and the food is plentiful, nicely prepared and served. When we retire, we now know how good life can be in places like WO. We like to say that Mom is having a better time than we are, having so many in-house friends, entertainment, and services.

This place is great. Excellent staff and lots of activities. Everyone who lives here has an interesting background and positive attitude. Highly recommend for you or a loved one.

This independent retirement living center has grounds (vs cement) and is right on the river. The staff are wonderful, as are the residents. There are various communal dining plans or one can cook in one's own apartment. The apartments are quite varied - from studio and alcove to one and two bedroom, most with either patio or balcony, half with a river view (the other have with a sunrise over the mountains view). I thought it would be "an institution" but it is not. I thought it would be "just an apartment" but again it is not. It is its own wonderful community with lovely opportunities and activities to join in on or not. This is our home; if we need more temporary medical or even ADLs help than is available here, we will hire it as we would have in our house. We could even have a pet, if we wanted. This really is a lovely place. I am so surprised to discover that I love living here!
