Our History
The Village Retirement Center was built in 1963 as the fulfillment of a vision of some Seventh-day Adventist businessmen in the Pacific Northwest. It has served seniors of this community ever since, filling a need in the area for reasonably priced, not-for-profit senior housing.
In 1973, the ‘Villa North’ section was added to The Village family to serve the needs of those looking for smaller units.
In 1990 The Village added its Prestige Living option, offering three meals a day and some housekeeping services for those living in the Prestige area.
In 2006, The Village added the Redwoods – seven apartments with larger floor plans and extra amenities.
In 2011, The Village combined all of the areas as one operation in service to Seniors from around the United States and around the world.
Today The Village covers 15 acres and offers a total of 157 apartments.
Our Vision Statement
The outlook of The Village for the future is reflected in its vision statement:
We who serve here are dedicated to providing a nurturing environment within a well-maintained campus of independent homes.
To fulfill that vision, The Village has remodeled most of the units on its campus within the last 12 years. They offer modern amenities and additional ADA options. Sidewalks are being upgraded and improvements are constantly being made. The vision has transformed The Village into a modern center for Senior Living.
