    What to Consider About Memory Care in Amarillo

    Amarillo, Texas, has an estimated total population of 199,826, with 12.7 percent of residents age 65 and older. There are as many as 380,000 Texas residents age 65+ with Alzheimer’s disease, and a portion resides in Amarillo. To accommodate this population, Amarillo has five memory care facilities.

    In Amarillo and the rest of Texas, assisted living facilities (ALFs) that offer care for Alzheimer’s or other types of dementia are licensed by the Texas Department of Health and Human Services and must provide a disclosure form detailing services and policies.

    • The cost of living in Amarillo ranks at 85.1, lower than the national average of 100. This may mean that memory care costs, transportation, groceries and other expenses are more affordable here than in other Texas cities, such as Houston, where the cost of living is higher.
    • Amarillo has a relatively warm climate, with an average of 259 sunny days per year as compared to the U.S. average of 205, so residents of memory care can enjoy the outdoors. The city ranks 58 out of 100 on Sperling’s Comfort Index, while the national average is 54.
    • The air-quality ranking in Amarillo is 74 out of 100, while the U.S. ranks at 58. This makes Amarillo a good place for memory care residents with compromised respiratory systems or those who are sensitive to pollution. The data is based on the EPA’s Air Toxics Assessment, which measures pollution risks at a zip code level.
    • Amarillo has a violent crime rate of 52.8 and a property crime rate of 63.4. While these figures are higher than the national averages of 31.1 and 38.1, family members of seniors in memory care need not worry because these facilities have stringent security measures in place to ensure the safety of residents and their belongings.
