AMARILLO CENTER FOR SKILLED CARE

6641 W AMARILLO BLVD, AMARILLO, TX 79106

Amarillo Center for Skilled Care presents a bit of a puzzle; while they're demonstrably good at keeping residents healthy, judging by those strong quality measure scores and the solid RN coverage of nearly an hour per resident daily, the picture gets murkier elsewhere. You'll find they're excellent at managing behavioral symptoms without resorting to heavy medication, which is genuinely impressive and speaks to a more person-centered approach.

Five Points Nursing and Rehabilitation

1625 Point West Parkway, Amarillo, TX 79124

Five Points is a place with some real contradictions going on; they've got some genuinely impressive things happening for residents, but the numbers also show a significant churn that's hard to ignore. The good news is they're excelling at keeping residents comfortable and safe, with a bedsore rate that's less than half the national average, meaning folks are likely getting the hands-on repositioning they need to prevent skin issues, and their antipsychotic prescribing rate is incredibly low, suggesting they're tackling behavioral challenges with more personalized approaches instead of just medication.

Ware Memorial Care Center

1510 S Van Buren St., Amarillo, TX 79101

Ware Memorial Care Center presents a head-scratcher, boasting those shiny 5-star staffing numbers that suggest you can press that call button anytime and someone's actually coming, and bless their hearts, the nurses who are there seem to stick around, which means familiar faces are taking care of your loved ones. But here's the kicker: all that reported staffing excellence doesn't seem to translate into residents walking out with their mobility intact, with a concerning number losing the ability to move around faster than most places, and residents are getting UTIs at a rate that's higher than the national average, which can lead to confusion that looks a lot like something else.
