Arabella of Athens Senior Living sits in East Texas in Athens, and the place tries to foster a warm, hospitable, and peaceful atmosphere, with large blooming roses, lush landscaping, and walking paths winding around a fishing pond with a dock where residents can spend quiet afternoons. The community offers several types of care, including Independent Living for self-sufficient seniors who enjoy being active and social, Assisted Living for those needing help with daily tasks, and Memory Care for residents living with Alzheimer's or other dementia. There's also Skilled Nursing and Continuing Care Retirement Community options for those who may need more medical support.
Chef Jerry heads up the dining services, preparing high-quality, nutritious meals that residents can enjoy in the restaurant-style dining room or in private dining spaces if they want to celebrate something special with visitors, and guest meals are available too. The facility runs 24 hours a day, and well-trained staff are always around-the reception staff are known for being especially friendly. For those who like to keep busy, there's devotional services, exercise rooms, outdoor firepit areas, movies in the theater, an activity room, and a library. Residents also get access to daily wellness support, community Wi-Fi, a full-service beauty salon, and regular social and educational programs, including special signature events like "My Wellness" and "Miracle Moments."
Residents with pets can bring them along, with pet-friendly apartments available in all care levels, and the whole facility is wheelchair accessible with amenities like showers and enclosed courtyards. Arabella of Athens has its own bus and provides complimentary transportation for errands or outings, while on-site parking is available for residents who drive. For those needing help with health matters, hospice, respite care, and specialized caregivers for Memory Care are offered. Staff work to create a close-knit feeling and support each resident's changing needs, allowing people to settle in and make meaningful connections or friendships over shared meals or at community events.
The atmosphere leans more toward peaceful and homey rather than fancy, with staff focusing on good routines, healthy eating, and daily activities that add purpose and joy. The facility also belongs to a larger senior living network that gives residents and families access to various planning tools and caregiver support resources to better prepare for life's changes. Arabella of Athens tries to help seniors live with as much independence as they can, while offering support when health needs shift, all in a setting that's clean, cared-for, and friendly.
