Oregon Mennonite Residential Services

What Oregon Mennonite Residential Services does

Oregon Mennonite Residential Services (OMRS) is a private nonprofit organization founded in 1986 and headquartered in McMinnville, Oregon, that provides residential care and 24-hour support for adults (18+) with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The organization operates more than a dozen licensed homes across Albany (Linn County) and McMinnville (Yamhill County), with each home licensed for three to five individuals. Services include individualized service plans, assistance with daily living activities, healthcare and medication coordination, behavior support services staffed by Certified Oregon Intervention Systems (OIS) instructors, nursing and behavior-consultant availability, and community integration programming delivered through an internal Enrichment Team and partnerships with other community agencies for paid employment and alternative work opportunities.

The business model is a managed-services nonprofit funded primarily through Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) — specifically the Services for Seniors and People with Disabilities division — via Medicaid waiver programs and county case manager referrals. Capital expenditure on facilities has historically been supported by grants from Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS). Go-to-market is referral-driven rather than commercial: eligible adults must have an established county case manager (in Linn or Yamhill counties) who makes the referral to OMRS. The organization employs 101–250 staff (Direct Support Professionals, Behavior Specialists, Compliance/QA, HR, and Executive leadership) and is governed by a Board of Directors under Mennonite faith-based values. The organization does not operate any proprietary technology platform, mobile application, or AI system; its core technology footprint is limited to standard nonprofit operating tools.

In June 2025, OMRS announced a pending merger with Cornerstone Associates (CAI), another Oregon IDD provider, publishing a public FAQ document to address stakeholder questions. The merger is the most significant strategic event in the organization's recent history and would combine the two providers' licensed capacity, staff, and geographic reach within Oregon.
