Haven House Retirement Center A nonprofit retirement home in Fossil, Oregon, offering private apartments, 24/7 care, and a true sense of community.

Where comfort, dignity, and connection feel just like home. 💛 Haven House was built in 1988 from a committee of community members wanting to keep their elders in their home town. They formed a private non-profit with a seven member board to established a comfortable environment easing the transition from their house to ours. Our mission statement:
"To provide affordable housing with quality services which reflect and support independence, dignity, choices and privacy, while meeting the needs of all tenants in a home like setting."

​Haven House is a Residential Care Facility with 24 hour assistance and an on call registered nurse. This means our residents must be able to transfer with one assist; most of our residents need small assists and reminders. Our goal is to deliver these services in a manner that promotes the well-being, self esteem and independence of all our residents.

Our fair booth this year was a total labor of love, and we were so excited to take home 3rd place! A heartfelt thank you goes out to Kristi McNamer for her incredible vision and hard work in helping us put the booth together. We couldn't have done it without your talent and dedication, Kristi! ❤️😊

But the excitement didn't stop there. Another highlight of the event was the fair parade. Our amazing residents joined in on the fun, and we are beyond proud to announce that they took home a 1st place ribbon! ❤️ Seeing their smiles and seeing them happy during the parade was the best reward we could have ever asked for!

We are so incredibly grateful to have such an amazing community that organizes this event every year. Our residents look forward to the fair all year long, and it’s these moments of connection and joy that make our community so special. Thank you to everyone who cheered us on and to the organizers for making these memories possible! ❤️
