ROGUE VALLEY MANOR

My husband and I moved to RVM in May, so we are relatively new residents. In spite of regretting leaving our home on the Oregon Coast, we knew and continue to recognize that we would not have found a better retirement community in the state of Oregon, and perhaps farther afield. The size of the community is really nice, allowing for many housing options, as well as activities. We are relatively quiet and are happy keeping to ourselves when we are not taking advantage of the activities and facilities here. My husband is a stroke survivor and thus we use the gym and pool for therapy, enjoy all three of the dining venues, and love to spend time outside enjoying the views, the birds, the wild turkeys etc. The people who live here are very friendly and anxious to include newcomers in their activities and in the dining room. I would certainly say that our adjustment here has been pretty successful in our almost 4 months on campus! Rogue Valley Manor is worth having a close look at - hard to beat its setting or its vibe!

I was sent to Rogue Valley Manor skilled nursing in March 2025. I received the best care here. The nursing staff was very compassionate as were the CNA’s. The facility is very clean. The meals are very good. This facility is very clean the rooms are nice. They have physical therapy and other programs to get you back on your feet. This is the best facility in this area

I moved in here about six months ago and my experiences have been almost wholly positive. The staff seems to like their work and are almost unfailingly cheerful. Some of them have become almost friends (like one carer who always stops to pet my dog if she has time and, if I don't have her with me, asks me to give the dog a pat from her. THe grounds are beautiful with many walking paths. The only downside is that being at the top of a hill, while it provides spectacular views, it requires going uphill at the end of my walks.The other residents are generally welcoming and outgoing. The only problem is that not everyone always wears their name tag (I frequently forget) and without it many fall into the category of "I know this person; I've interacted with him/her, but darned if I can remember his/her name." (I have some short term memory loss: part of why I came here is that their memory care unit is the best in the county; maybe the best in Oregon!!) Different people have different interests (despite the urgings of others who really enjoy it, I don't want to play water volleyball!) Try it, and if you like it, perhaps I'll see you soon at dinner or over a game of Rummikub.

I don’t write a lot of reviews but I feel compelled to write about my experiences at Rogue Valley Manor. While visiting for the third time we ran into a resident weaving sleeping mats for the homeless who advised us “Don’t wait, you want to get your money’s worth.” Best advice we ever got. We moved into our cottage, which has the most magnificent view we ever had, at the beginning of the pandemic, and felt we were so well protected through the whole experience. As normal life has returned we have more social life and have made more good friends than we had in the fifteen years of retirement prior to moving here. Activities like choir, water volleyball, badminton, the monthly news magazine published by residents, all the activities and classes organised by the wellness department and community engagement office fill up our calendars and enrich our lives. If you are thinking about moving here, do it sooner rather than later. You won’t regret it.

My husband wrote a positive review shortly after we moved in, but now we have been here a year and are in an even better place to appreciate all this community has to offer. He surely waxed eloquent about the beautiful campus, extensive housing options and range of activities. In this year we have also been able to explore the surrounding countryside, wineries, and cultural offerings within easy reach. In short, it is an enriching environment, within and without. Best of all we have made many amazing friends and we feel well integrated into a caring and lively community. We feel we are living our best lives here at RVM. Come visit and see for yourself!
