Discover Arabella of Kilgore, where your dreams have room to grow.

Our Passionate Continuum of Quality Care

With exciting renovations coming soon, Arabella is one of the only full-service senior living communities in our town of Kilgore, with cost-effective options for today and tomorrow. Our bright residences near the Meadowbrook Golf Course and a short drive away from the World’s Richest Acre are for people who want to keep their routines, stay connected, and enjoy life without the work of maintaining a home.

Independent living is about choice. You can enjoy meals with neighbors, attend Rangerette performances, take part in other outdoor or indoor activities that match your interests, and come and go as you please while we handle the details that often get in the way.

When daily tasks get more difficult, assisted living provides care that adapts as needs change. Our responsive team offers help with everyday routines while respecting personal preferences and independence.

For those requiring memory care, The Cottage offers structure, consistency, and specialized attention with southern hospitality so that seniors with dementia feel more at ease and families find the partner they need to guide them through every step.

At Arabella of Kilgore, every level of service encourages residents to settle into a comfortable rhythm, knowing support is there if and when it’s needed. This is the peace of mind our senior living community provides when you begin a new life here in the town your family has worked hard to build.

Common Questions About Kilgore Senior Living

Because any senior’s needs depend on the amount of physical challenges and/or memory loss they may face, we provide independent living, assisted living, and memory care. This continuum allows residents to age in place and receive the level of support they need without the financial difficulty of buy-in fees.

Care levels are decided through an assessment of physical and cognitive needs. Our goal is to provide the right amount of help without unnecessarily taking away independence.

We give active independent living residents a life without home maintenance, endless chores, and to-do lists full of other everyday tasks. Assisted living facilitates tasks like medication reminders and activities of daily living, while our memory care team encourages structured routines and a safe place for residents with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.

Yes! Our community allows independent living and assisted living residents to enjoy the company of small dogs and cats in their apartments. Many apartments open onto landscaped courtyards where residents spend time with their furry companions, socialize with their peers, and plant tomatoes as well as East Texas flowers in our gardens.

Senior living pricing varies by services, types of care, and apartment size — all so that you only pay for exactly what you need. Monthly costs tend to include housing, meals, activities, housekeeping, transportation, and access to amenities.

To check current rates, please visit our independent living, assisted living, and memory care pages. You can speak with an advisor for an estimate, where you’ll get our most in-depth explanation.

Piney Woods and Arabella’s Neighborhood

Arabella of Kilgore Senior Living is conveniently located in the Piney Woods of East Texas at 2103 Chandler Street. Residents love gardening in one of our two courtyards, where they’ve grown tomatoes, peppers, and watermelons. One has a beautiful setting of roses and flowers that attract the many types of birds and butterflies in the area, while the other is home to a family of turtles. With its winding walking paths and an inviting gazebo, our community lets seniors kick back and absorb the serenity of countryside living.

These residents in our historic oil town, many from the boom generation, have ample opportunity to fill their days with purpose; from on-site movie nights to outings at festivals and museums, every day offers something fun and engaging. There’s easy access to nearby golf courses, shopping centers, restaurants, parks, community centers, and top medical facilities; stay connected to Kilgore events, churches, and the town’s atmosphere you love.

Since top Longview hospitals and health clinics are about 11 miles away, plus we coordinate on-site physician visits, you’ll also have peace of mind that advanced care is always within reach. What better choice than Arabella?
