Addressing such opportunities not only enhances the status and image of Westhills Village, but also improves the quality of living for all concerned. Westhills Village received its start as a result of a group of spirited community leaders who desired a Christian mission for the community in the form of a retirement project directed towards moderate income people. Prior to the establishment of Westhills Village Retirement Community, many people were forced to leave the Black Hills area to find such a facility and services available. Westhills Village opened its doors to the first residents in the Fall of 1984. The written agreement between the resident and facility is intended to last the resident's life time.
Emphasis is placed upon quality of services and quality of life for each resident.
