Heritage Living Center offers a unique and nurturing environment tailored to the needs of Northern Cheyenne elders. It is designed as a place where residents can enjoy warm comforts, conviviality, and the reassuring presence of friends and family. While some individuals living at the Center benefit from daily assistance, many remain remarkably independent and active, engaging in the broader community, pursuing careers locally, or devoting time to longstanding interests such as art, photography, and cultural activities.
The Center is composed of 40 thoughtfully arranged apartments, each providing sweeping views of the beautiful, natural landscape that surrounds the facility. Every detail at Heritage Living Center is designed to support well-being and ease, from communal amenities like the welcoming dining room where meals are enjoyed together to specialized spaces including a library, chapel, and activity rooms. Residents also benefit from a physical therapy suite, ensuring their health and mobility needs are addressed. Connection with family and friends is fostered in cozy gathering spaces such as the family room, which is enhanced by the warmth of a fireplace.
Set on historically significant ground, Heritage Living Center is constructed where the legendary warrior Crazy Horse is said to have once camped. Covering nearly 50,000 square feet, the buildings nestle into the open land, which is purposefully preserved in its natural state to attract visiting wildlife—deer, antelope, and birds—creating a serene backdrop for daily life. In line with important Cheyenne tradition, the Center’s main entrance faces east, honoring the daily practice of greeting Maheo, the Creator, at sunrise.
Inside, the hallways and gathering spaces reflect cultural respect and memory. Native American art enhances the lobby, adding rich visual storytelling, while the Wall of Living Memories serves as a meaningful tribute to those who have contributed to the community, displaying memorial plaques to honor residents and their histories. Heritage Living Center is not only a comfortable haven for aging in place but also a vibrant, culturally enriched home that celebrates tradition, community, and the natural world.
