Brookdale Sleepy Hollow sits in a peaceful neighborhood in Amarillo, close to Westgate Mall, Wal-Mart, and medical offices, and the place always seems quiet but never dull, with big trees and open grounds you can walk around, people say the campus feels beautiful and serene, and inside, you'll notice sitting areas with armchairs and fireplaces, a fireside living room, several porches and patios, plus a greenhouse and outdoor courtyards that are all wheelchair-friendly, which people appreciate because fresh air and nature help keep the days varied. The community offers assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, independent living, skilled nursing, continuing care, and even home care or in-home services for those who prefer companionship or light help with errands while aging in place. Residents choose from pet-friendly studio apartments that can be set up comfortably, with living space and large windows, and you'll often see folks decorating their rooms with items from home to make the space feel their own.
Meal time at Brookdale Sleepy Hollow brings people together, with a chef-inspired program, home-cooked meals, and dining rooms full of sunlight from large windows, green tablecloths, and centerpieces, and there are private dining rooms for special visits, snacks at the café, and a popcorn machine for movie nights, which always draws a group. Chores like housekeeping and laundry are taken care of to reduce stress for residents and families. People can join all sorts of activities and events-from monthly dances and karaoke to art classes, gardening in the greenhouse, Bible studies, and regular outings to spots like Western Bowl, nearby parks, or local gardens. A library, fireside lounge, salon, therapy room, and calming nooks with dolls and books give folks places to gather or just sit quietly. Pets are welcome with some restrictions, and there's a pet therapy dog that visits, which many residents look forward to seeing.
The Clare Bridge signature memory care training stands out, and the dedicated memory care building is secure for those who tend to wander, with staff using technology like bracelets for extra peace of mind. There's a strong focus on getting to know each person, tailoring care to individual needs, and helping people keep up with their routines, even those who need help with transfers, have diabetes, or have issues with incontinence or behavior-the nursing team and trained staff provide support day and night. You'll find physical, occupational, and speech therapy visits offered, and a nurse is on site, plus visiting nurses and podiatrists show up regularly to give an extra layer of care when it's needed. The property has both indoor and outdoor areas for socializing, games, and movement, and the activity calendar stays full to help folks meet new people and stay busy, even if some residents prefer small groups or one-on-one time.
Brookdale Sleepy Hollow provides devotional services both on and off the property, with Protestant, Catholic, and interdenominational options, and Sunday services and Bible study happen each week. The facility supports a range of needs, with care levels from light to heavy, and charges different fees depending on these levels, along with respite and hospice care for short stays or the end of life. Residents can use transportation free of charge for errands and outings, and there's parking available for those who still drive. Smoking's only allowed outdoors. The community wants residents to feel known and supported, and it helps people stay independent with as much or as little help as they need, right down to daily reminders and behavioral support, all across a homey environment that's friendly, smaller, and focused on dignity and comfort for everyone.
