Overview of Dallas Retirement Village Health Center

Dallas Retirement Village Health Center is a skilled nursing and memory care community in Dallas, Oregon. Dallas Mennonite Retirement Community, Inc., has been operating the campus for more than 75 years. The 121-bed facility offers skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation, and respite care and accepts both Medicare and Medicaid.

CMS gives the facility a 3-star overall rating, which is in line with Oregon averages. Health Inspection and Staffing sub-ratings are both modestly above state benchmarks, while Quality Measures fall about 13% below Oregon averages, a gap that matters most for residents with complex or longer-term care needs.

Total nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 49 minutes per resident each day, which is about 7% below the Oregon averages. However, RN staffing performs much better at 29% above state norms, pointing to stronger clinical oversight at the registered-nurse level.

The inspection history includes a substantiated complaint from November 2024, involving physical abuse of a resident by a staff member, confirmed through video. A December 2024 standard inspection later identified six deficiencies involving medication storage, food sanitation, infection control, and administrative rules, with some issues remaining uncorrected during follow-up review. The facility’s deficiency rate averages 8.7 per year, 30% above Oregon’s average of 6.7. Inspections through 2025 have been notably lighter, though the recent trend is still short.

On-site rehabilitation services include physical, occupational, and respiratory therapy. The facility’s occupancy rate is 86.5%, well above the Oregon average of 65.7%, reflecting consistent local demand across the facility’s care continuum.

Dallas Retirement Village Health Center fits residents looking for a multi-level care campus in Polk County, particularly those managing post-acute recovery or anticipating a longer care trajectory in a single community.
