Arnold House at Blue Skies of Texas East sits on a large, fifty-acre campus with beautiful landscaping, shaded walking paths, and tall oaks and crepe myrtles, where folks can choose to live in studio apartments, cottages, or larger homes with private bathrooms, kitchens or kitchenettes with granite countertops, and plenty of closet space, and if someone brings a cat or dog, there's a dog park to let them run around too. This place is especially known for giving people very personal attention, using special care plans for each resident-including those who need help with memory, like in their memory care program, or those who need extra support for daily activities like getting dressed, bathing, and managing medicine, which staff handle quietly so folks keep their dignity and as much independence as possible. Arnold House provides full support, so if someone needs a lot of medical care with skilled nurses, rehab services, or even hospice, that's available right there, and doctors come in for regular clinic visits, plus there's ongoing Alzheimer's and senior medicine research that helps shape their care.
Many people like to stay busy around Arnold House, whether that means joining one of over seventy clubs and hobby groups, gardening year-round in raised beds, working in the woodshop, enjoying the art studio, sitting for a movie in the theatre, or reading in the library, and when the weather's nice, going out to the pool, courtyard, or simply walking the grounds. The main building has a great room for social times, weekly parties, and gatherings, while folks who want quiet can find a nice spot to read or relax either indoors or outside. There's also a gym, a beauty and barbershop, a dining room that serves meals, a Sky Lounge at the top of the high-rise with wide views, and a Broadway Bank and TV room right on campus, so most errands and activities happen close by, but resident and guest parking are available along with rides for anything needed away from home.
Safety stays a big focus with 24/7 gate attendants, security cameras, and a call system in every home, plus all units are ready for wheelchairs and walkers with easy-access showers. Staff help with household care like cleaning, laundry, lawn and gutter care, lightbulbs, and even shoveling snow if needed, and a computer lab and free Wi-Fi lets people stay connected, which some use for online appointments or keeping in touch with family. There are full cleaning services, move-in coordination, VA benefits help, and private medical equipment for those who need it, including help for folks with diabetes and those needing extra monitoring.
Arnold House is open to military folks and civilians, all ranks and backgrounds, and the place runs as a non-profit, which means value and financial security matter here, and the Charitable Foundation can help widowed or qualified residents quietly if money runs short, so once someone moves in, they're cared for the rest of their life if they want to stay. There are short-term respite stays and plenty of activities aimed at making life interesting, whether that's clubs for music, gardening, or just spending time with friends on campus. Everything aims to make things safe, comfortable, and as lively or peaceful as each resident wants, focusing on dignity, connection, and letting people feel like they're really at home.
