Who are you searching for?
Residential care homes in Lubbock may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Lubbock 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 Lubbock, 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 Waters, Raintree and University Pines.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Wolfforth, Wolfforth or Broadview.

Residential Care Home
The staff are real helpful and real nice. I have two complaints, the first being they have a lot of sandwiches. You get tired of sandwiches after a while! The second is that there is no entertainment, no activities. They do bible readings on Wednesday but that doesn't take very long. If they could do some arts and crafts that would be nice. She is doing good, although she has her wits, and there's a lot that don't so she doesn't have a lot to do but watch TV. Those are the only complaints. The rest is good, they help with meds and nursing.
My mother is so happy here! She always talks about how fancy it is and feels like it is her house! The times we take her out for an appointment etc. she tells the care staff she loves them and promises she will be back! Such peace of mind for me. I love that they get her up and dressed each morning and make her bed. When she was at home and then a nursing home, she would lay in bed most of the day, so SilverTop has been an absolute blessing. They have the residents sit at a set dining table for all meals and have a common living area with recliners for each resident and extra for family. They have visitors come and provide music/activities each week along with special birthday parties and holiday meals. It’s just wonderful!

It was my second choice but they shared a bathroom and mom didn't like that. I liked that it was like a family unit. When we got there, there five or six people in the sitting room together, and it was nice.

Residential care homes are houses in residential neighborhoods that are equipped, adapted, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually between two and 10. Like assisted living communities, staff at care homes typically help residents with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, and medication management.

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 living in a care home depends largely on location. Since the homes are private residences, costs are tied to real estate value and therefore may vary greatly.
