The center is part of the Creative Solutions In Healthcare network and has a team focused on providing care plans tailored to each resident, spanning skilled nursing, 24-hour care, memory support, assisted living, and specialty programs like wound care, rehabilitation, physical therapy, speech and occupational therapy, vent care, and in-house dialysis, plus they also offer services for people recovering from surgery or managing conditions like stroke, diabetes or cardiac problems, and provide care like tracheotomy services, intravenous therapy, enteral and parenteral care, post-surgical support, respiratory therapy, and restorative nursing. Residents get help with medication, nutrition, veterans affairs, hospice, transportation, and spiritual needs, and there's a beauty and barber shop, laundry, housekeeping, and organized activities for engagement and well-being, and if families want to check in, there's an online portal and contact form plus a customer care line to make updates and communication easier.
The facility reports a long-term-care environment with staff aiming to keep things home-like and compassionate, relying on personalized care plans approved with support from a dedicated team, and offers both specialty and memory care for residents who need them, along with telemedicine access and support for rehab-to-home transitions, stroke recovery, or managing complex conditions. Still, there are some negatives worth knowing, as the nurse turnover rate sits higher than the state average at 83.6%, and the direct nurse staffing hours are lower than the state, with 2.74 hours per resident per day compared to Texas' 3.4, and inspection reports have cited 18 deficiencies total, including one for a Nutrition and Dietary Deficiency related to food procurement and handling, and others for infection control and resident rights, the latter noting that some people were affected but no actual harm occurred, though potential for more than minimal harm was present. Reports include a November 2024 standard survey with 4 cited issues and a complaint report from April 2025. Amarillo Center for Skilled Care doesn't provide much detail about amenities or special features, but families and residents should know the center covers a broad range of skilled care services and uses online tools to regularly communicate and update loved ones about resident care and health.
