Our History

In 1948, the Pacific Coast Conference Mennonites began a rescue mission in Portland, Oregon. Part of the vision of that mission was to create a farm home outside of the Portland area for recovering alcoholics to work on a farm.

By early 1949, a 160-acre farm was donated and a home was built. The farm operated until 1955, at which time the farm home was converted into a nursing home. The rescue mission continued to operate as such until about 1970.

Several additions and remodels of Rock of Ages occurred as it operated under Pacific Coast Conference Mennonites until 1968. At this time Bible Mennonite Fellowship Inc., another group of Mennonite Churches, took over the operation.

The board of directors made the decision to close the facility doors from 1973 until 1976 for renovation. It reopened as a 21-bed Residential Care Facility and has operated with RCF licensure since that date.

In 1989, plans were being made to build a small village and in 1991 we were building the first homes in Valley View Retirement Village. The 40 homes, most constructed as duplexes, now serve our more independent residents.

In 1995, the M.A.I.D.S. In-Home Care Program was started to meet the needs of those who required help in their own homes here on campus.

We now offer hospice care for those in need. Our program continues to grow and provide compassionate care for retired adults in our residences.

Our Mission

A caring community, nurturing friendships,
thriving by serving each other, representing
Jesus and His servant example to all people.

Providing a home where our elders and the
most vulnerable find respect, honor, and
friends. Trustworthy and committed staff

My husband and I moved to our Valley View retirement home in December 2019. We often say to each other “it’s like living in a resort, but better”. The grounds are beautiful and well-maintained. Many individual yards are show-stoppers. We are able to continue life-long hobbies such as work working, growing one’s vegetables in a community garden, exercise walking around a scenic walking path, landscape gardening, and participating in planned community events. Multiple community buildings are available for shared activities or to reserve for a special personal event. A well equipped fitness space is available that provides both cardiovascular and strength building equipment. Personal services such as toenail care, massage, and beauty/barber visits are easy to schedule. When one needs assistance, be it a medical visit to the nurse practionener, help with moving furniture, meals delivered, or personal living assistance, it is only a phone call away. We find the Staff here are exceptional, whether it’s a caregiver, a kitchen helper, or a maintenance expert. We are well pleased with our choice to spend our elder years here in this caring community and environment.

Two and one-half years ago, my husband fell ill and required hospitalization. When he was to be released, we were allowed to bring him to stay at the Transitional Care unit rather than a large commercial nursing home because of the reputation for quality of care provided by Rock of Ages. Everything he needed or required in personal and/or hospice care was provided. His room was a large roomy suite with a valley view and included an attached room for family. The caring staff also provided the support I needed. I am ever grateful.

I have my own home here at Valley View in the quiet, peaceful and safe village neighborhood. I am surrounded by nice neighbors and nature. It’s a lovely place to live.
