Overview of Evergreen Memory Care

Evergreen Memory Care is a 64-bed community in Eugene, Oregon. It specializes in memory care and assisted living for people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Nestled in a moderately walkable neighborhood 4 miles from the city center, the home is part of the larger Evergreen Senior Living Campus, which also includes independent cottages and assisted living residences. The one-story building houses studio apartments of 350 square feet, focusing on person-centered care built around the unique needs of occupants with memory loss.

The facility takes Medicaid, providing one way for families to manage care costs. Residents benefit from 24-hour nursing and dedicated care partners who provide individualized support in a warm environment. The community’s philosophy underscores holistic assessments conducted with family input, aiming to empower residents, preserve dignity, and promote independence and life quality within the realities of cognitive decline. Administrator Debby Johanssen leads the community and is recognized for her dedication to a supportive, caring environment. Daily amenities and services include transportation assistance, fitness and recreation programs, and outdoor spaces. Pets are welcome, which many families find adds comfort and continuity to occupants’ lives.

Inspection reviews have noted repeating kitchen sanitation concerns across multiple years, including issues with food spills and burn damage. While some deficiencies have been corrected on follow-up inspections, kitchen compliance and administrative processes are still areas of attention. The administrator has acknowledged these needed improvements.

With 25 years in operation, Evergreen Memory Care offers a stable, specialized setting for families wanting memory care in a smaller, house-like environment instead of a large institutional facility.
