Virginia Gravely Childress
Founder, 1980
"Serving our community in a unique and meaningful way."
Candis Assisted Living was born from a dream — a vision held by our founder, the late Virginia Gravely Childress, who believed that every person deserves to be treated with dignity, warmth, and genuine love.
From the very beginning, Virginia's daughter Cheryl Twine stood beside her, learning the art of compassionate caregiving. After Virginia's passing, Cheryl took the helm — carrying forward her mother's passion and unwavering commitment to excellence.
Today, under Cheryl's loving leadership, Candis Assisted Living remains a trusted haven for seniors and their families — a place where exceptional care meets heartfelt connection.
