We See Things A Little Differently

Our Mission Statement

Spokane United Methodist Homes, doing business as Rockwood Retirement Communities, is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to providing services and housing to older adults with a commitment to excellence in promoting independence, wellness and lifelong vitality.

Rockwood’s Mission Statement is alive, and guiding our vision for the future of Rockwood, its residents, management and staff. In the spirit of our Mission, Rockwood recently received HUD funding to develop Appleway Court, affordable senior living apartments in Spokane Valley. This was made possible because many Rockwood residents shared the Board’s passion for this endeavor, and had a desire to reach out and serve a segment of Spokane, Washington’s population that has a great need.

As dedicated supporters of our not-for-profit organization, staff, Trustees and residents use the Mission Statement to guide operations and to provide a framework for a vision for the future.
