At Arbor House, we give new meaning to life.
Life In Motion
At Arbor House, we believe that Life can have new meaning and it doesn't stop as we age - we stay In Motion. A balanced engagement program gives breath to this New Life in Motion by ensuring that Arbor House offers just what every person needs and wants to continue to enjoy and encounter life. This engagement program is composed of eight components, including: bodies, minds, hearts, dreams, friends, purpose, feelings and quiet moments. Residents can participate in engagements throughout the day that encompass these eight elements. Life in Motion is built around residents' needs and desires. Each Arbor House community is unique in the way they deliver these engagement programs - it all depends on the residents! Join us for Life In Motion! Our communities offer over 50 different programs daily. Programs are happening in each "house" simultaneously allowing residents the freedom to participate wherever they would like.

I was one of the first three residents to move in. Prior to moving in, I was living in an Independent Living Community. The Staff visited me every week and got to know me before moving in. The food is delicious and I love watching baseball games in the movie theatre. You get a lot of attention at Arbor House. Everyone here goes above and beyond the call of duty.

Arbor House is located in the heart of restaurants and shopping. The staff is friendly and the environment is very nurturing. I couldn't think of a better place to live.

I toured several facilities in the Waco area searching for just the right place for my mother to live and enjoy the care that she needs and deserves in a beautiful environment. When I walked into Arbor House, Carrie Pullin, Executive Director, and Mary Jane Voltin, Marketing Director met me at the front door, invited me to sit and said, "Tell us about your mother." THEN they gave me a tour of the absolutely gorgeous, brand new facility. I knew from the start that their priorities were in the right order and that first impression has proven true again and again as they and Director of Nursing, Kristi Burger, have done everything in their power to assist me in the preparation and implementation of this transition. I am thrilled and humbled that the blessing of Arbor House and its staff has come to my family in our time of need.
