Mennonite Services Northwest was created out of Mennonite Village, an accredited, nonprofit Continuing Care Retirement Community. Mennonite Village’s executive staff has been involved in various types of consulting throughout the organization’s more than 70-year history. In 2005, Mennonite Village was approached by the board of Corvallis Caring Place to be its management partner. This management agreement reaffirmed a relationship that began when Mennonite Village consulted in the development of Corvallis Caring Place, a nonprofit, 42-unit assisted living facility. Through this experience, Mennonite Village came to realize there was a lack of nonprofit management companies to work with smaller, nonprofit organizations who serve the aging and other vulnerable groups. Mennonite Village subsequently formed Mennonite Services Northwest to fill that void. Mennonite Services Northwest has managed Oregon Mennonite Residential Services since 2005, Corvallis Caring Place since 2006, and Hope Village since 2010. In 2012, Oregon Mennonite Residential Services, Hope Village, and Mennonite Village became affiliates of Mennonite Services Northwest.

As a faith-based organization, Mennonite Services Northwest is committed to supporting and enhancing the aging services profession by sharing its experience and knowledge with other like-minded, not-for-profit organizations. Through its consulting and management services, Mennonite Services Northwest helps communities to thrive in an increasingly competitive business environment. The goal of Mennonite Services Northwest is to encourage the local flavor of each managed entity and provide services that will support and enhance its operations, ultimately improving life for the people served.
