I moved to Sheldon Park three years ago. After many life changes, it was decided that I would leave my beloved Ashland and my friends of over 55 years and move to Eugene. My son’s family lives here, and my daughter and her family are in Seattle. From my first day, I realized the move was the correct decision. Sheldon Park is located within walking distance to a shopping mall and a branch of the Eugene Library!

The best part of my move has been the team here at Sheldon Park! They are friendly, helpful, and full of love for all the residents. Our servers treat us like their grandparents, with respect and love. They really care about us. I am now no longer alone! There is always someone to talk to, eat with, play games, and watch sports with. Moving to Sheldon Park and Eugene has succeeded in filling the empty hole in my heart!!
