BeeHive Homes
With locations in 20+ states in the US, BeeHive Homes is “The Next Best Place to Home”. This senior assisted living company didn’t begin like many of today’s facilities, there is a heartwarming story behind BeeHive Homes. A grandson looking for a suitable solution to a problem many families face as their loved ones age. Twayne Walker was helping look for a place for his aging grandmother to live her days out. She needed care that her family was not able to provide. Twayne wanted to fnd a safe, quality, clean place that would feel like a home. When he couldn’t fnd it, he created it. The year was 1987 and the location was Idaho. The need was so great that once word got out that Twayne was building a new type of assisted living facility for his grandmother, that a waiting list took shape and by the time the frst home was built, it was full! The focus has always been on smaller facilities designed to resemble residential homes, the BeeHive Homes model is unique. Dennis Toland recognized the void the BeeHive Homes assisted living homes could fll, and he partnered with Twayne to promote the fnest quality care environment available. The BeeHive Home concept is simple and proven possible. It is a clean, comfortable family setting at an affordable price. Twayne expected this for his grandmother and he expects it for your family.
