About Vineyard Heights Senior Living
Levels of Care: Independent Living, Assisted Living
Vineyard Heights Assisted Living is a premier Assisted Living and Independent Living community in the McMinnville area that serves the McMinnville, Dayton, Willamina, Carlton, Sheridan, Amity, Newberg, Sherwood, Lincoln City, Tillamook, Corvallis, Salem, Keizer, Yamhill, Yamhill County, Lincoln County, Washington County regions.
The area offers residents and visitors a wide array of shopping and entertainment venues and is the heart of Willamette Valley wine country. Located just two miles from historic downtown McMinnville, our community is nearby to many local attractions including Wings & Waves Waterpark, Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum, the Eyrie Vineyards, Joe Dancer Park, Walnut City Wineworks, and much more.
We take great pride in the reputation that our team has earned for delivering highly personalized, compassionate Assisted Living and Independent Living services that are designed to meet our residents’ physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
Before residents move to our McMinnville property, customized assessments are completed so individual care plans can be created. These care plans are updated after 30 and 90-day periods and are supervised by our Health Service Director. Our community is staffed by highly trained RNs, LPNs, CNAs, RCCs, and medical technicians who are hired not only for their professional skills but also for their compassionate and warm personalities.
Assisted Living and Independent Living Community in McMinnville, OR
Since its founding in the early 2000s, our community has continued to be well maintained, with many updates and “mini-makeovers” like our new dining room furniture, fireside sitting room, private dining room, lobby, and wine cellar.
Residents enjoy gorgeous living accommodations with bright and inviting apartments that are well lit, maintained, very clean, and have amazing views.
One of the most popular features of our community is the food. We offer a wide variety of entrees and delicacies. A choice of two entrees is offered at every meal, and an alternative menu is always available. Friday is “Fish Friday,” where we serve homemade clam chowder, fish n’ chips, and fish tacos with the Chef’s special mango salsa or chipotle sauce. Not only does our Chef offer international dinners once a month, but we also provide traditional holiday meals along with special occasion dinners on Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, the 4th of July, and Labor Day BBQs.
Our goal for Vineyard Heights residents and guests is to feel warm, invited, and included. We have a fireside room with a TV, a wonderful library, a wine cellar, and a gorgeous family-style dining room with banquettes in the center and an outdoor patio.
Frontier’s Award-Winning SPARK™ Program
The friendly and compassionate staff at Vineyard Heights Assisted Living is proud to offer our Assisted Living and Independent Living residents the award-winning SPARK™ program.
SPARK was inspired by the teachings and research of Maria Montessori and Dr. Cameron Camp and provides meaningful and life-enhancing experiences for members of our Assisted Living and Independent Living communities.
Our unique program engages our residents with proven strategies that strive to heighten interaction, optimize cognitive skills, as well as promote a sense of purpose and accomplishment. We use tailor-fit assessment tools to evaluate each resident’s capabilities and strengths, so the program can best meet their specific needs. Residents are encouraged to participate in a wide range of activities based on their personal interests and abilities.
From art therapy to arts and crafts, baking classes, bingo, Book Club, bowling, car shows, card writing activity, coloring day, cooking classes, and crazy hat day, SPARK has something for everyone to enjoy!
Other activities include donation drives, dress up day, family movie night, group exercise classes, happy hours, holiday celebrations, ice cream socials, lunch outings, Men’s Club, music therapy, musical performances, National Food Day celebrations, painting day, parades, pet therapy, pizza parties, poker night, puzzle night, resident birthday parties, Resident Council, root beer float party, senior Olympic games, sporting event party, tea parties, tie-dying events, Veteran’s ceremonies, and Women’s Group.
In addition, through our SPARK program, some of our residents have participated in other activities such as helping to create lavender essential oils for gifting!
