Methodist Retirement Communities
We honor and serve older adults as an expression of Christ’s love.
texas serving texans
From the deep Texas pines to the gorgeous Texas coastline and several places in-between, you’ll find Methodist Retirement Communities (MRC) proudly delivering quality, faith-based, mission driven housing and services to senior adults. After our founding in 1962, we have since expanded to include 13 communities in 9 Texas cities. We are Texas proud and that’s why we are dedicated to making life good for all who call an MRC community home. We believe in hard work, faith values, and doing the right thing. A lot of heart with just a touch of Texas charm makes MRC a great place to work and an even better place to live.

Check out the MRC Levels of Living below
Independent Living -+
EMPOWERED TO LIVE LARGE!
Spending your days toiling over chores is living small! Instead, let us take over the to-do list so you can live LARGE! Let us mow the yard, mop the floor, cook dinner, change the sheets and manage home repairs. With all of the mundane have-to-dos out of the way, imagine all of the new get-to-dos that await you! Write the novel, take art classes, put on dancing shoes, grab the microphone, explore the world...just imagine the possibilities! At MRC you’ll be empowered to dream big and live LARGE.
Assisted Living - +
FREEDOM FROM WORRY
One thing that many hardworking Texans have in common is that they dread becoming a burden to their children as they age. In an MRC community, you’ll find that we can offer just enough support with day to day activities like dressing, bathing, and medication management that the worries melt away. Worry-free living for you and for your family, now that’s a blessing, never a burden.
Memory Support -+
WHEN MEMORIES FADE.
Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of age related forgetfulness is something that 1 in 6 people over the age of 80 are facing. The hardships that a family may face along this type of journey can be heart wrenching as memories fade and life turns to the new normal. We are here to encourage families that you don’t have to walk this road alone. Let us help. From caregiver support groups to residential care services, you’ll find the right mix of expertise and an understanding to hold you up when the load is too much to bear. Let us walk alongside you on this journey.
Skilled Nursing -
+
LIVING THE GOOD LIFE
Sometimes limited mobility creates a greater need for care that includes the type of nursing support and care staff that is found in skilled nursing. Having these compassionate souls nearby for each and every need throughout the day is a great comfort and can allow elders to thrive despite their limitations. But that’s not the main thing that happens in skilled nursing, the care we provide is actually in the background. So what’s on the main stage? The elder! Living in Skilled Nursing doesn’t mean that life now revolves around care needs. Boring! Instead, life should revolve around the things that make life good…hobbies, interests, worship, family, music, laughter…the list goes on and on. But the list looks different for each individual and so does our approach. We won’t let a little bit of necessary care get in the way of living the good life.
Rehabilitation -+
REBUILD AND REBALANCE.
You never know what twists and turns life has in store. Sometimes an unexpected fall or period of illness may land you in the hospital. Next thing you know, the team of caregivers at the hospital are suggesting you get short-term, inpatient rehabilitation to regain your strength. Sometimes the same recommendation can come following a scheduled procedure like a knee replacement or a shoulder surgery. Either way, your priorities will have shifted to strengthening your body so that you can get back to life as usual. Whether it’s physical, occupational or speech therapy, you’ll find that the teams within our communities are ready to help you thrive. They’ll have an individualized plan of action for a period of focus on your body’s most critical needs so that you go home stronger and more confident.
Home Health -+
WE COME TO YOU!
Whether you need a bit more support with cooking, cleaning and running errands, or, if you need the trusted care of a nursing professional, MRC’s Home Health teams at Pine Crest in Lufkin and Cornerstone in Texarkana can deliver. The best part is, they can deliver this service straight to your door. That’s right, you can get the same quality care and trusted service that is experienced each day on our campuses in your own home.
INDEPENDENT LIVING MEANS FREEDOM!
If you are spending your days toiling over chores, it’s time to embrace the freedom Independent Living has to offer. Let us take over the to-do list so you can enjoy all that retirement has in store. Let us mow the yard, mop the floor, cook dinner, change the sheets, and manage the annoyance of home repairs. With all the mundane have-to-dos out of the way, imagine all the new get-to-dos that await you! Write the novel, take art classes, put on dancing shoes, grab the microphone, explore the world...just imagine the possibilities! At MRC you’ll be set free to live life on your terms.
ASSISTED LIVING MEANS LESS WORRY
One thing that many hardworking Texans have in common is that they dread becoming a burden to their children as they age. In an MRC community, you’ll find we offer just enough support with day-to-day activities like dressing, bathing, and medication management that the worries melt away. Assisted Living with MRC offers the extra dose of support you need to keep family time free of stress and worry.
MEMORY SUPPORT MEANS YOU AREN’T ALONE.
Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of age related forgetfulness is something that 1 in 6 people over the age of 80 are facing.

From caregiver support groups to residential care services, you’ll find the right mix of expertise and understanding to hold you up when the load is too much to bear. Let us walk alongside you on this journey. Memory Support at MRC is just that, support for what each day may hold.
LONG-TERM CARE MEANS SUPPORT.
Sometimes limited mobility creates a greater need for care that includes the type of nursing support and care staff that is found in Long-Term Care. Having these compassionate souls nearby for every need throughout the day is a great comfort and can allow elders to thrive, despite their limitations. But don’t be mistaken, each day doesn’t simply revolve around care needs. Instead, each day is defined by moments that matter. Whether it’s hobbies, art, worship, music, or conversation, our team is dedicated to making it happen.
SHORT-TERM REHABILITATION MEANS CONFIDENCE.
You never know what twists and turns life has in store. Sometimes an unexpected fall or period of illness may land you in the hospital. Next thing you know, the team of caregivers at the hospital are suggesting you get short-term, inpatient rehabilitation to regain your strength. Sometimes the same recommendation can come following a scheduled procedure like a knee replacement or shoulder surgery. Either way, your priorities will have shifted to strengthening your body so that you can get back to life as usual. Whether it’s physical, occupational, or speech therapy, you’ll find that the teams within our communities are ready to help you rebuild your strength and your confidence.
