Arbor View Nursing & Rehabilitation

06/07/2026

At Arbor View, care is personal.

It’s learning someone’s favorite song.
Knowing how they take their coffee.
Celebrating progress in therapy.
Offering reassurance on a hard day.
Helping families understand what comes next.
Creating moments of dignity, comfort, and connection.

Whether someone is here for short-term rehab, long-term care, respite, or dementia support, our goal is to help them feel cared for, respected, and at home.

If your family has questions about senior care options, we’re always happy to help.

Questions Families Ask Us:

“What should we bring for a short-term stay?”

A few helpful items may include:

Comfortable clothing for therapy
Non-slip shoes
Glasses, dentures, hearing aids, and chargers if needed
Personal toiletries
A favorite blanket, sweater, or family photo
A current medication list
Important phone numbers
A positive outlook: A short stay can create great long-term results!

Every person’s needs are different, but familiar items can help a new setting feel more comfortable.

Short-term rehab is often a bridge between the hospital and home, and our goal is to help residents work toward strength, safety, and confidence.

A respite stay can be the key to unlocking caregiver well-being, resulting in a longer, more successful in-home care journey.

Too many choices can feel overwhelming for someone living with dementia.

Instead of asking, “What do you want to wear today?” try offering two simple options:

“Would you like the blue shirt or the green one?”

Instead of asking, “What do you want to eat?” try:

“Would you like soup or a sandwich?”

Simple choices can help preserve dignity while reducing frustration.

The goal is not to take control away. The goal is to make the moment easier, calmer, and more successful.

*Small changes in how we ask questions can make a big difference.*

Caregiver reminder:

You are not failing by asking for help.

Caring for someone you love can be meaningful, exhausting, rewarding, and emotionally complicated all at once.

Many families wait until they are completely overwhelmed before asking questions about care options. But needing support does not mean you have done anything wrong.

It means you are trying to keep your loved one safe, cared for, and supported.

Families do not have to walk through senior care decisions alone. We're here to offer any support we can along your journey.

Consider stopping in for our monthly Dementia Caregiver Support Group for friends and family of those living with Dementia. It's the 2nd Friday of each month at 2pm and everyone is welcome.

We're so grateful for the generous volunteers from Kerrville Troop 111 and CubScout Pack 1205 for doing a seasonal deep clean of our Memory Care outdoor spaces! Our residents love watching the wildlife out these windows, and now they'll have a sparkling clear view to enjoy.

Thank you so much for giving your time on this beautiful Saturday to spread kindness in our community!

School’s out, summer is here, and we’re celebrating the season Arbor View-style! ☀️

We created this simple “Summer at Arbor View” coloring page for our residents, and we thought our families, followers, and local kids might enjoy it too — especially during the first week of summer break!

Print it out, color it together, and share a little summer joy with someone you love. Bonus points if you bring or send us your finished masterpiece — our residents would love to see them! 🖍️💛

On days filled with memories, stories, traditions, and reflection, families may feel especially aware of what dementia has changed.

It can be painful when a loved one no longer remembers certain names, dates, places, or details.

But connection does not always require perfect recall.

A familiar song, a patriotic hymn, an old photo, a gentle hand, a favorite prayer, or simply sitting together can still create a meaningful moment.

For someone living with dementia, the feeling of love, comfort, and safety may remain even when the exact memory is harder to reach.

Today, we honor the memories families carry and the moments of connection still possible.

*Wishing our residents, families, team members, and community a meaningful Memorial Day.*

Today, we’re missing our favorite floof ball. 💛

Cameo, one of our beloved therapy dogs, visits Arbor View each Thursday and never fails to brighten the day for our residents and staff. Whether she’s offering soft pets, warm hugs, or simply her sweet presence, Cameo brings so much comfort and joy every time she walks through our doors.

Cameo will be out for the next 2–3 weeks while she recovers from surgery, and we’re all sending her lots of love, prayers, and wishes for a smooth, speedy recovery.

🐾🙏 Please join us in sending Cameo and her family your thoughts, prayers, and well wishes!

Questions Families Ask Us:

“When is it time to consider more care for Mom or Dad?”

There is no one-size-fits-all answer, but families often begin asking this question when they notice things like:

A loved one is falling more often.
Managing medications has become difficult.
A caregiver is becoming exhausted.
Dementia symptoms are increasing.
A hospital stay has changed their strength or safety.
They are no longer eating, bathing, or moving around safely at home.

Asking questions does not mean you’ve failed your loved one. It means you’re trying to make sure they have the right support.

At Arbor View, we’re always happy to help families understand care options, whether the need is short-term rehab, long-term care, respite, or dementia support.

Save this post if your family is beginning to have these conversations.
