You know what they say–everything is bigger in Texas– the hats, ranches, open spaces, buildings, and of course, the big personalities! That means there are plenty of ways for seniors to find their community in this great, big state and enjoy their retirement to the fullest. From the pure bliss that comes from driving under endless blue skies to being treated to genuine Southern hospitality in every restaurant, shop, or gas station you stop by, Texans make you feel welcome in every way.
Texas has something to fit everyone’s fancy. For seniors who enjoy the outdoors, Texas has deserts, pine forests, beaches, caverns, and the spectacular Rio Grande River to explore. For those always looking for entertainment, there is the Austin music scene or Houston Rodeo. From all of these things to Houston’s Museum of Fine Arts, Space Center Houston, Tex-Mex, and more, there are endless opportunities for fun and new experiences for seniors.
So if you’re considering Texas for your own retirement or the care of your loved one, the perfect place is one of our Texas Sunshine Retirement Communities! See what our independent living, assisted living, transitional assisted living, and memory care communities have to offer.
