Palo Duro Retirement Village is owned and controlled by the residents
Some 25 years ago, Louis Hinders, a life-long Canyon resident, determined a need for affordable, independent senior citizen housing in the Texas Panhandle. After six years of planning he secured financing, obtained community backing, and in 1984 Palo Duro Retirement Village became a reality. He and his wife, Carolyn, currently reside at the village. Louis is actively involved in the operation of Palo Duro Retirement Village as Board President.
