Arabella of Longview Senior Living sits in a quiet residential neighborhood of Longview, Texas, and the place feels lively with people who want active and healthy retirement living. Folks can choose from independent living cottages or apartments, assisted living, memory care, and even skilled nursing or continuing care if needed later on, and this way residents can have the right support as their needs change. Staff here are trained and always ready to help, but everyone's encouraged to stay independent as much as possible, with help available for daily tasks when it's needed.
The community offers a good range of activities, both inside and out, and people take part in social events like Gregg County gatherings, educational programs, and simple pastimes, so it can be easy to make friends and keep busy if that's what someone wants. Meals come from a culinary program run by chefs or planners, and everyone can eat together in the dining room at set times, sharing meals and stories, which helps residents feel at home. There's a swimming pool outside, an indoor pool and hot tub for exercise or relaxing, and amenities like a library, a fitness room, Studio M Salon for grooming, and walking paths outside for those who want fresh air or just to stroll. Animals are welcome in pet-friendly apartments and homes, and the whole community is built with comfort in mind, with things like Wi-Fi, handicap access, courtyards with fountains, and even movie nights in a small theater.
Arabella provides devotional services onsite, offers wellness programs - like "My Wellness" and "Miracle Moments" - along with special support for people with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, and the memory care side is set up to support those who need more attention. The place gets good marks for compassion and respect, and families often find a break from caregiving since staff handle daily needs with kindness. There's a focus on healthy living, making friends, and having purpose, but nobody's pushed to do anything they're not up for. With skilled care available in a licensed setting for people who need a higher level of care, along with regular state reviews and a record of deficiency-free inspections, many families feel at ease with the care their loved ones receive. The community offers tours for anyone considering a move, so you can see daily life, dining, and activities for yourself.
