Many times, the only choices available in the area are nursing homes, low-income housing, group living or conventional apartments. Yet many retired persons are ready to leave the work and responsibility of home ownership, however they are neither sick nor low-income, and the conventional apartments have no services as they cater to a different clientele. Consequently, many people are faced with having to move to Rapid City, Scottsbluff, or even further away, to find housing in some form of a retirement complex. Our mission is to provide housing in the Chadron area for retired citizens and to improve their choices. Prairie Pines is a complex that offers both housing and services tailored to each individual's needs. Forty seven one and two bedroom independent living apartments are offered, along with twenty assisted living apartments. Prairie Pines is a single story, residential style community located on the western edge of Chadron between 6th and 8th streets. The site has easy access to medical facilities, shopping, banking, churches, cultural and civic activities. Prairie Pines is a great option because of its size and location, but what really sets us apart from the rest are the services we offer and the care we give to each one of our residents. A variety of services give the residents the best of retirement living: security, peace of mind, and the absence of worry and responsibility in a beautiful and comfortable setting.
