Colonial Village sits in rural North Longview among the East Texas Piney Woods, offering a residential setting that's both quiet and has a small-town feel with modern comfort, and folks can pick from different apartment types-studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom layouts-like the American Elm, Bradford Pear, Cedar Elm, Eastern Redbud, Persimmon, Sugarberry, Water Oak, Sweetgum, and Cherry Laurel floor plans, each with their own touches like kitchenettes, private bathrooms, walk-in closets, balconies or patios, and plenty of natural light, with unfurnished options if you want to bring your own things, and there's also cable, Wi-Fi, and resident parking. The place has a cozy library, lounge, arts and crafts room, fitness center, game room, chapel, movie theater, card and game rooms, a beauty/barber shop open Wednesdays, a dog park, an outdoor patio, walking paths, and a country store for simple shopping, plus a big dining room for restaurant-style meals, and an all-day stocked bar for snacks and drinks.
Colonial Village offers a wide range of care, from independent living for active seniors all the way to assisted living, memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, and skilled nursing, so folks can get support with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, medication management, wound care, diabetic injections, IV therapy, rehab after joint replacement, physical therapy, respiratory care, and toileting if needed, and you can also arrange home health care or welcome a home care agency to suit your routine. The meals are home-cooked by the chef and served three times daily, with extra snacks, and every week there's housekeeping and linen service to help keep things tidy, while residents don't pay for most utilities except their own phone and cable TV if they want it, and laundry rooms are available.
Residents can join in painting classes, domino bingo, fitness programs, exercise classes, live music, outings to local attractions like Longview Community Theatre, museums, and Longview Mall, and there are monthly social gatherings, country store trips, and religious worship if folks wish, with scheduled bus transportation to appointments and shopping on certain days. The staff encourages resident-led activities and volunteering, and the community stays pet-friendly for those who want animal friends nearby. Colonial Village's grounds have landscaped walking paths and a courtyard, and there's a strong focus on personal wellness, social connection, and supportive care, with special programs and articles about dementia, legal and financial planning, and health and safety to help both residents and families stay informed, and even a podcast called "The Disappearing Mind" for those who prefer to listen and learn more about memory care. The community accepts VA benefits and Aid and Attendance for eligible veterans and their spouses, making long-term care more reachable for some families, and since it's a licensed facility offering skilled care and progressive levels of support, people can stay as their needs change without moving away from the familiar surroundings, which adds peace of mind. Colonial Village brings seniors the choice to live actively and comfortably with different levels of care and a variety of activities, all in a safe and neighborly environment.
