In 1926, the Alberta minister of agriculture announced that the provincial government would assist the Salvation Army to care for indigent old people by turning the former agricultural school at Gleichen over to the Salvation Army, along with property up to twenty acres. "Eventide Home" was chosen as the name of the institution, which in 1947 was listed as having 115 beds.

Although the Eventide Home has been closed for many years and the derelict building torn down, a cemeteries rejuvenation project in 2015 saw County of Wheatland crews working to remove overgrown vegetation and broken grave covers, as well as to repair monuments, not only at the county-owned Gleichen Community Cemetery, but at the two adjacent cemeteries, the Eventide Cemetery and the Roman Catholic Cemetery. Funding for this project came in part from the County of Wheatland.
