Retirement & Assisted Living Prairie Pines Lodge is an innovative and logical improvement to the alternatives of housing for retired adults.

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. Prairie Pines is distinguished from conventional apartments or condominiums... you are beginning a new way of life...a secure and active, independent lifestyle with friendship and sociability. With your private or assisted living apartment you have a wide range of services designed to enhance your independence. No more house and yard maintenance. This leaves you free to enjoy your favorite activities. Your transportation needs can be met with our scheduled transportation services. Nutritious meals are prepared fresh everyday in our own kitchen making dining in the company of your friends at treat. Your only job is to live, laugh and enjoy each moment of your retirement.

👯‍♀️ Seeing double… or maybe seeing a whole lot of Tim! 😂

For Twin Day, the Prairie Pines Lodge crew decided there was only one person worth twinning with—their fearless leader, Tim!

From the outfits to the details, staff had a little too much fun channeling their inner Tim for the day. We’re pretty sure one Tim is enough to keep Prairie Pines Lodge running smoothly, but for Twin Day, the more the merrier!

Thanks to our team for always bringing the fun and making Prairie Pines Lodge such a great place to work and call home. 💙

🐴💙 A little sunshine, a little fresh air and some very special visitors at Prairie Pines Lodge!

Our residents recently had the opportunity to spend time outdoors with horses, and judging by these smiles, they were pretty popular guests!

Experiences like this are about so much more than having a fun afternoon. Meaningful interaction with animals can encourage socialization, sensory engagement, gentle movement and emotional connection. The sights, sounds and touch involved in spending time with a horse can provide a rich sensory experience while creating natural opportunities for conversation, laughter and connection with others.

🐴 For residents who have spent portions of their lives around horses, ranches, farms or livestock, an afternoon like this can be especially meaningful. A familiar touch, smell or sound may spark memories and stories from years past, giving residents an opportunity to reminisce and share those experiences with the people around them.

There is also something special about simply being in the presence of an animal. Whether reaching out for a gentle pat, standing beside a horse or simply watching from nearby, each resident can participate at their own comfort level.

At Prairie Pines Lodge, enriching residents’ lives means creating opportunities to stay active, engaged and connected—not only with one another, but with the experiences and interests that have brought them joy throughout their lives.

And sometimes, enrichment comes with four hooves and a mane. 🐴🌾💙

🚐💙 Celebrating Medical Transporter Day | August 20

At Prairie Pines Lodge, transportation is about so much more than getting from one place to another.

For Medical Transporter Kimberly, every day looks a little different—and that's exactly what makes her role so special.

Kimberly helps Prairie Pines residents get where they need and want to go, whether that's a medical appointment, a hair appointment, a weekly shopping trip, or another outing in the community. Every Wednesday is shopping day, when some residents enjoy doing their own shopping while others trust Kimberly to pick up what they need.

And when the transportation schedule slows down, you'll often find Kimberly helping with activities and spending time with residents.

One of her favorite recent experiences was accompanying a group from Prairie Pines to the Post Playhouse to see the Always... Patsy Cline show.

But ask Kimberly what she enjoys most about her job, and her answer isn't about the miles traveled.

💬 “My favorite part of this job is getting to spend time with the residents and hearing about their lives!”

That connection is what makes Kimberly's work so meaningful. Every appointment, shopping trip and outing is another opportunity to help our residents maintain their independence, stay connected to their community and continue enjoying the experiences that matter to them.

On Medical Transporter Day, we're proud to recognize Kimberly and thank her for the compassion, reliability and personal connection she brings to Prairie Pines Lodge every day.

🚐 More than a ride.
💙 A connection to the people, places and experiences that matter.

Please join us in thanking Kimberly for all she does for our Prairie Pines residents!

Congratulations to Prairie Pines Lodge Facility Administrator Tim Frye on receiving the Good Neighbor Award!

Tim’s commitment to our community often happens quietly and behind the scenes, but the impact of his generosity can be seen throughout Chadron.

For years, Tim has supported local events, organizations and partnerships that bring people together. Through the continued generosity of Tim, Prairie Pines Lodge and Chadron Hospital, the Chamber Ambassadors have been able to host their annual Fur Trade Days BBQ and Ambassador Fundraiser—including the donation of the event’s popular hot dogs year after year.

Tim rarely seeks recognition for the ways he gives back. Instead, he simply continues to show up, lend a hand and support the people and traditions that make our community special.

That dedication to serving others and strengthening community connections truly represents what it means to be a Good Neighbor.

Please join us in congratulating Tim on this well-deserved recognition! We are proud to have him leading our Prairie Pines Lodge team and grateful for all he does for our residents, our organization and the Chadron community.
