Our history and our values
In 1955, an ecumenical community group of Methodists, Episcopalians, and Presbyterians came together with the shared goal of providing exceptional care for the seniors of Southern Oregon.
They formed a not-for-profit organization, which purchased 16 acres in Medford and built the original 10-story Rogue Valley Manor building. Since our doors opened in 1961, our community has grown in size and scope. In 1990, our board of directors and executive management team began to focus on reaching a broader segment of the community. They formed a new, not-for-profit corporation to oversee this outreach effort—Pacific Retirement Services. Our expansive campus is now home to nearly 1,000 residents and has been serving seniors for 60 years.
Not-for-profit.
Rogue Valley Manor is a not-for-profit organization, which means all funds exceeding expenses are reinvested back into the community. Because there are no shareholders or investors who expect to earn profits, we’re able to use our funds to enhance the lives of residents. For example, funds are used to improve community living spaces and facilities on an ongoing basis, to add new programs, and to expand services for residents.
Our vision
We are one community enriching lives, embracing the future, and nurturing people through life’s journey.
Our mission.
At the heart of our community lies a purpose that defines who we are and what we strive to achieve every day.
The Rogue Valley Manor mission: Leading meaningful lives together through integrity, trust, excellence, compassion, respect, innovation, stewardship, and collaboration as a life plan community.
