Independent Living Communities in Amarillo, TX

"I visited three different facilities, and there was something I liked about each one, but overall, I like Asher Point of Amarillo better. I like the atmosphere, and I like the apartments. Everything just kind of clicked on that one. It was Cathy who toured me around, and she was great. Everything looked very nice and clean. We went by their dining area, and it was very, very nice. I liked it."

"My mother-in-law will be moving to Brookdale Medi Park West. We were impressed with the facilities, the size of the rooms and all the activities available. We took my mother-in-law to see it, and she just loved it, and so she said, 'Yes, this is where I want to be.' The staff who gave the tour was very helpful, knowledgeable, and caring. She was wonderful. The place is very up-to-date and clean, and it doesn't look like it's been there as long as it has. It looks brand new because they've dated it and taken such good care of it."

"I toured The Craig Senior Living. I visited the independent living. It's a gated community and it's beautifully kept. It's a beautiful place. They have cottages as well as apartments, and it's all very well kept. The staff was excellent. They were very, very nice. I did not try their food. I've seen the residents play cards. They have a beautiful library if you like to read, and I do love to read. They go on a tour sometimes and the staff said once a week they go out to eat at a restaurant. If you want to go, you can sign up to go. They have all kinds of puzzles. The apartment I'm taking, somebody had lived there, and they had to move for some reason. So they are going to repaint it for me, and they're going to redo the floor and put in a new shower. Everything will be really clean, and I like that. The facility is beautiful and very, very well kept."

"The Continental is lovely. Everyone is really helpful and all the residents that I've met are very friendly and love the place. The food is excellent. The staff is excellent. They have bingo, card games, dominos, off-premise things that they go to, and a library. I was really impressed with the chef. The facilities are very good. I was impressed with the price too."

"My mom lived in Plemons Court for almost twelve years. My mom lived in the independent living part but they also have assisted living and all the other stages of care in the facility. It was affordable, she had a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment with built in laundry facilities and a complete kitchen. It's very spacious and liveable. My mother has friends there and we go out to lunch together. "

"My mother is going to Park Central Community. We've gone up there to get an idea of her room and get some measurements. They gave us the tour and it was nice. They have so many activities to do. They have a five-star restaurant. They had a lot of outings, so they can get out and do things, just more than I think anyone can imagine. There are different buildings and she'll be in the independent one right now. Later on, she might need to move over to the assisted if she needs more nursing care. They have an Alzheimer's unit as well. The residents we saw were about to play bunco. There were several elderly people and you have to be 62 to move in. They also have apartments. I'm 60, and I may think about moving into those apartments and you can continue to work. There were people eating. They have a certain time for everybody to come and eat in the dining room. If it's past that time, they can order room service. They have a hamburger sandwich shop. They have a convenience store that has cooked food also. There was an exercise place. There were women and men in there exercising, and they had someone there to watch and make sure that they were exercising properly. They had a washing machine and dryer on their floor. They had different seating areas. They tell my mom that she can sit anywhere, that that was her home, not just the apartment above, but downstairs as well. They had a library. They had a place where she could get her hair done, her nails, and her feet. She could make appointments. There's just a whole bunch. It'll help mom be more active. She's on a walker, so we're hoping that helps the circulation of her legs a little bit. They have a separate dining room that sits about ten maybe. If we have family coming in, we can make reservations. A waiter or waitress comes to us and gets our order. I just talked to our custodian the other day and she says she goes maybe two or three times a week and eats over at the dining room because it's open to the public at certain times. The staff was awesome and very friendly. Even the residents that live there kept introducing themselves to my mom. I think the challenge will be for her to remember everybody. The facility was very clean. They were actually in there cleaning her apartment at the time, so they do a thorough cleaning. My mom was excited when she saw the place."
