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.

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.

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.

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!
