Founded in 1979, Cheney Care Community was organized by a group of caring citizens intent on providing seniors in our community a place to call home. Today, Cheney Care Community is owned and operated by the Cheney Care Center Association, a non-profit 501(c)3 community organization committed to meeting the health and housing needs of seniors in our area. Set on five tranquil acres in the heart of this small town, we are located near lakes, golf courses, nature trails and many cultural opportunities available in nearby Spokane. Eastern Washington University is just blocks away beckoning you with an array of enriching opportunities.
Our living options allow you to blend independence, comfort, and convenience into an affordable lifestyle. Our full-service continuum of care from independent living options to skilled nursing care means Cheney Care Community is the place you can call home today and tomorrow.
Cheney Care Community is part of Leading Age National and Leading Age Washington. Leading Age is a non-profit organization that represents and promotes the common interests of its members through leadership, advocacy, education, and member services to enhance their ability to provide quality care and service to their residents and clients.
Friendly, comfortable, and affordable senior living options haven't always been available in the West Plains.
Previously, the closest retirement communities were located in Spokane, forcing local seniors to move away from their families and community. That all changed in 1979.
Led by a spirited and determined woman named Ellen Proctor, a group of community members launched a door-to-door fundraising campaign, educating the community about the need for a local retirement community and raising funds needed to build Cheney Care Community. This is Ellen's story.
