Gateway Living
Gateway Living provides assisted living and memory care in Springfield, OR. Assisted living residents receive help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while maintaining their own apartment, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Offering both care levels can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time, since care can continue within the same community without starting over socially.
The community has 123 beds. Respite care provides short term stays for a family whose usual caregiver needs time to travel or recover. Nursing care is available around the clock, and personal caretaking services support residents who need hands on help. Rehabilitation services are available for residents who need therapy, and a doctor is on staff.
Residents can take part in pet therapy, music therapy, and exercise classes, creating structured opportunities for animal assisted, music based, and physical activities. Fresh, homestyle meals are prepared by full time onsite cooks, with special diets accommodated. Jessica Knox serves as administrator, and Gateway Living is operated by Gateway Assisted Living.
A Walk Score of 56 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot. A resident who no longer drives may be able to complete some nearby errands independently.
