We are a nonprofit Life Plan community, formerly known as Continuing Care Retirement Community, located in beautiful San Antonio, Texas – Military City, USA.
For over 30 years we have proudly served retired military officers from all branches of the Armed Forces, their spouses, widows and widowers – providing them with an active, social, and carefree lifestyle – what retirement living is meant to be.
Our Mission is to provide the finest atmosphere for retirement living and to allow residents to be as independent as possible, yet free to use the community’s services and amenities as they wish – all at the most reasonable cost commensurate with the offering of first class quality services.
At the Army Residence Community, we remove the stress of home maintenance, lawn work, housekeeping and meal preparation for our residents. This allows you the freedom to do the things you really want to do in retirement - travel, learn a second language, volunteer, learn yoga, garden, or just relax. It's up to you, it's your retirement.
Our services and amenities will keep you active and engaged with your friends and neighbors. We typically have over 150 activities scheduled every month - so there's something for everyone. If joining a club is your thing, we have sewing and quilting clubs, a computer & technology club, a genealogy club, gardening, and much more. Physical activities include pickle ball, tennis, fitness center classes, water fitness, a putting green, and many other activities.
The ARC is different from your typical retirement community because our residents share the life experience of serving our nation in the armed forces. There is a camaraderie here that you just don't find anywhere else. Friends are reunited, memories are shared, and everyone looks out for their neighbor. We are patriotic, we are proud, and we are THE ARC.
