Innovative 24/7 Dining Experience Debuts at Garden Way Retirement Community in Eugene

EUGENE, Ore. – An innovative, all-day dining program has made its debut at Garden Way Retirement Community in Eugene, Oregon, offering the senior residents of this all-inclusive, resort-style community the luxury of dining any time of the day or night. Unlike the more conventional and outdated, three meals-per-day option, the new 24/7 Dining Experience at Garden Way was specifically designed to accommodate a variety of daily schedules in addition to palate and dietary preferences.

Located in the heart of charming Eugene, near shops, downtown restaurants, medical centers and more, Garden Way is an independent living retirement community managed by family-owned Sunshine Retirement Living, based in Bend, Oregon. The new dining experience is just one of the pioneering programs and services that have been introduced at the community recently to enrich resident lives each and every day.

Research has shown that seniors who socialize more with friends and family tend to live longer and healthier lives. For that reason, hours have been extended for breakfast, lunch and dinner at Garden Way. The gourmet meals, which are served restaurant-style by a team of caring and friendly servers, combine traditional favorites with more contemporary regional, ethnic and seasonal items to appeal to various tastes and preferences. Recipes are rooted in fresh and delicious ingredients, sourced as locally as possible, including some that are grown in the community’s own gardens. Salads and soups are made fresh daily, and high-quality meats and proteins, heart-healthy grains, and gluten-free, vegetarian and low-sodium options are always among the selections.

For residents, who are unable to dine during traditional hours, Garden Way now also offers an on-demand menu that can be enjoyed anytime in the dining room or in resident apartments. This is especially beneficial to residents who become ill or who need to eat food with medications in the middle of the night. Meals can be delivered by the culinary staff or picked up by the resident – whichever is more convenient.

“At Sunshine Retirement Living, we continue to champion innovation at each of our communities across the country,” said Luis Serrano, CEO, Sunshine Retirement Living. “Our new 24/7 Dining Experience at Garden Way in Eugene is just one example of how we put the needs and wishes of our residents first. Not everyone lives on the same schedule and our new all-day dining program is designed to ensure that our residents can enjoy a delicious and nutritious meal at a time that is most convenient for them.”

Garden Way’s kitchen is always open for visits from the local community by calling ahead or by just stopping in. Garden Way is located at 175 South Garden Way, Eugene, Ore., 97041. For more information, contact us at (541) 228-9819 or visit www.GardenWayRet.com or email GardenWay@SunshineRet.com.
