Texarkana is the twelfth-largest city in Arkansas and the county seat of Miller County. The city is located on the state line with Texas, with the population across the state line from its twin city, Texarkana, Texas. The city was founded at a railroad intersection on December 8, 1873, and was incorporated in Arkansas on August 10, 1880. Texarkana is the principal city of the Texarkana metropolitan area, which is ranked 274th in terms of population in the United States with 150,098 in 2016 according to the United States Census Bureau.
Located within the Ark-La-Tex subregion of Southwest Arkansas, Texarkana is located in the Piney Woods, a oak-hickory forest atop the flat Gulf Coastal Plain. Texarkana's economy is driven by agriculture and the city's position as a crossroads of three major Interstate highways: Interstate 30 (I-30), I-49 and the future I-69. Outdoors tourism, such as fishing at Lake Millwood, are also important in the region. The Texarkana Arkansas School District is the largest public school district on the Arkansas side, leading to graduation from Arkansas High School. The city is home to Texarkana College (on the Texas side of town), and a branch campus of the University of Arkansas Community College at Hope (UACCH).

I've recently move from California to Texarkana Arkansas, I've noticed everyone is very friendly and respectful concerning the elderly. I'm currently working for an agency but I would like to join the mature caregivers family. I'm very hard-working, as well as reliable not to mention dependable. I believe caring for our seniors to allow them to remain in their homes is something I would like to experience and the future if needed. Always have a pleasant demeanor as well as a beautiful smile, you have a blessed day and keep on smiling...
good area to provide work has good area needs able to locate working clients
I feel Texarkana is age friendly because I grew up here and there's nothing much for the younger people to do , but there's plenty for elderly people,, very good place to retire.
Community of older people, very concerned about neighbors, look out for each other,
The neighborhood I live in is very quiet and very low crime activity.
