Lifestyle
Vineyard Heights is a place of vibrancy and life, promoting meaning and joy in the lives of residents, families, and our team members of McMinnville, Oregon. Elders inspire us, motivate us, guide, and direct us. As we work to create an empowering, caring, growing culture for elders, we are also creating our own future. After all, we are all elders-in-waiting!
A Focus on Nutrition and Friendships
At Vineyard Heights Assisted Living & Retirement Cottages, dining is more than just a meal—it’s an experience. Our restaurant-style dining features a curated menu of delicious, home-cooked meals prepared fresh each day by chefs who know how to bring out the best in flavor and nutrition.
We believe food should nourish both body and spirit, which is why every dish is made from scratch with care. From comforting favorites to seasonal specialties, residents enjoy variety, quality, and the joy of sharing meals together.
Special dietary needs? We’ve got you covered. Whether it’s no added salt, vegetarian, sugar-free, or other preferences, our team is happy to create meals that fit your lifestyle while still being full of flavor.

Through meaningful connections, creative expression, and new adventures, we empower residents to embrace their passions, discover new ones, and truly thrive in a supportive, person-centered community.
Resident Growth and Wellness Plans
At our community, Growth and Wellness Plans go beyond traditional care plans. Instead of focusing on limitations or diagnoses, we focus on each person’s strengths, goals, and passions. Together, we create a plan that supports well-being—physically, emotionally, and socially—so residents can continue to grow, stay connected, and live with purpose in a caring community.

What Families have to say
"I was recently visiting this community and noticed the excitement as they were filming new television commercials...
The staff and residents were all thrilled to see what was happening and the filming crew was extremely polite to everyone. I even overheard one resident saying that it was the most fun he had in the entire year. I was able to walk the community and see the amazing gardens that their maintenance director has created. It is worth seeing and a real passion for the residents. It is obvious that these people care about everyone here."
What Families have to say
"Just had a delicious barbecue 🍗 lunch with my mom at Vineyard Heights...
Awesome people work here, always kind and helpful! Would recommend it for your loved ones who need assisted living."
What Families have to say
"I couldn't be more pleased with our choice to have our mom at Vineyard Heights...
It is clean, pleasant, with activities geared for everyone, to try to get to a new normal, or just to get through the day. The staff here are tremendous. We were at a time when our mother was ready to leave a physical therapy facility, (and we were too), we explained our predicament to Kaylie and she was able to have the Nurse come over and do her assessment, right away, she basically could have been moved that day, but we did have some geographical issues, (her kids were out of town. She is loving getting to live here, and seeing the things on the wall too. We were very blessed to work with them on our situation, and it was like waving a magic wand; they had it together. They are quite a facility."
