Who are you searching for?
Residential care homes in Amarillo may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Amarillo care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Amarillo, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.
We are also serving Residential Care Home facilities in surrounding neighborhoods like Downtown Amarillo.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Lake Tanglewood, Timbercreek Canyon or Bishop Hills.

In Amarillo, residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.
The cost of a care home in Amarillo varies depending on each community. Since the homes are private residences, costs are tied to real estate value and therefore may vary greatly. To learn more about care homes in Amarillo and in the state of Texas, contact one of A Place for Mom’s Senior Living Advisors.
