Our History
After negative experiences with his uncle and grandmother highlighted flaws in the assisted living industry, JB Gouger was determined to develop a living alternative for the elderly that is dedicated to their personal care without robbing them of their independence and life savings.
With the strong belief that people shouldn’t have to lose the comforts and self-sufficiency of home to get the personal care they need for their health and safety, JB earned a Master’s degree in Gerontology and opened the first Assisted Residential Retirement of Texas residence in 1994.
Now with five residences in Beeville, Gonzales, Kerrville, and Uvalde, our mission is tocreate an affordable, home-like environment with a small number of residents and friendly caregivers that have the time and attention to devote to everyone.
Assisted Retirement In South Central Texas
South Texas, with its sunny skies, economical cost of living, and rich heritage, offers many advantages in lifestyle, ranging from year-round sunny skies to ample top-notch medical facilities and care to choose from. The south-central region of Texas, with its vast ranchlands, agricultural community, and quaint towns throughout the area, offer a stable and comfortable, yet relaxed pace of life for today’s retiree. A much slower, gentler pace of life is found in communities such as Beeville, within short commutes to the bustling city of San Antonio and the coastal city of Corpus Christi.
Small town values and lifestyle make for pleasant, well kept communities. Many folks have chosen to move outside of the larger cities to raise their families, and this trend over the past years has brought growth to almost all of these formerly sleepy little towns. New neighborhoods, as well as local shopping, medical care, libraries, cultural events, dining, and much more are now available almost everywhere.
Many of these small towns have become popular retirement destinations, with thriving communities of lively and active retirees. We have Assisted Residential Retirement homes in Beeville, Gonzales, Kerrville, and Uvalde, catering to the needs of families with older family members reaching the time in their lives when they are needing assistance with their day to day lives as well as retirees ready for the next step in retirement living. Our residences offer the assistance and care needed while maintaining independence, privacy and dignity.
You or a family member may be wondering if assisted living is the right step.Find out more about choosing Assisted Residential Retirement.

Is Assisted Residential Retirement right for your loved one?
Many factors come into play when considering assisted living for yourself or a loved one. There is no simple answer that works for everyone, the best approach is to assess each person’s needs and abilities on an individual basis. When looking at the big picture, also consider their support network. Do they have family close by and able to assist? Do they require any special care that the family is unable to give?
When Is It Time to Talk About Assisted Living?
- Does your parent have difficulty moving around the house?
- Does your parent have trouble with hearing or vision?
- Does your parent have health-related problems limiting their ability to take care of everyday activities, such as eating, cleaning, personal hygiene or shopping?
- Does your parent show signs of forgetfulness or confusion?
- Have you noticed a drop in social activity, like meeting with friends?
- Does your parent appear bored, lonely or depressed?
- Does your parent exhibit feelings of frustration or worthlessness from inactivity?
If you answered "yes" to at least three of the questions above, the next step is to create an assessment of your parent’s mental, physical, environmental and financial condition to see if it is safe to continue living independently. Be sure to discuss options with your parent and enlist them in decision-making.
When conducting an assessment, consider:
- State of physical health
- State of mental health
- Medication usage
- How are your parent’s daily living skills?
- How are your parent’s finances and ability to handle them?
- Does your parent live in a home and community that are safe?
- Do your parent have a solid support network?
- Does your parent still maintain their appearance and hygiene?
- Does your parent still pursue hobbies and interests?
Generally speaking, you and your loved ones can find the appropriate time to seek assisted living through honest and open conversations. If you find yourself struggling with day to day tasks, or notice that your loved one is no longer maintaining their usual standard of living, it may be time for an an honest assessment of the situation. Please consider calling us at any time to discuss your loved one and how we might help.
