Bois DArc is such a loving place for my mom. Mon truly loves the staff and the facility. We love the intimacy and quietness of a smaller retirement home. The apartments are clean and spacious. The staff is very one on one and truly loves my mom. Mom loves the food and they even keep her favorite ice cream in the kitchen. We enjoy the many family days celebrating the holidays, when Carol throws a big lunch for everyone. I would recommend Bois DArc to anyone. What a great place in a great little Texas town.

The people at TXARR are amazing. They are so patient and sweet. The home is beautiful. The food is tasty and well presented. The grounds are always kept. I can really say that it seams they do every thing possible to go above and beyond to meet the seniors who live here needs. They are all inclusive, so a flat fee covers everything. I can't say enough about this place. It has been a huge help and peace of mind for not only our loved one but for us to know that 24/7 someone is available and providing such great care. I would absolutely recommend this place. They are privately owned and just such
