Amarillo Medical Lodge

Amarillo Medical Lodge sits east of the VA Medical Center, between West Amarillo Boulevard and the Amarillo Country Club, and you'll find it offers round-the-clock nursing in a modern skilled nursing facility with 102 beds in private and semi-private rooms, where residents always get state-of-the-art care for short-term or long-term needs. It belongs to Booker Hospital District, with oversight by Christopher Cantrell since December 2023 and management from Rowlett Creek Healthcare LLC; The Ensign Group is also affiliated. The place makes sure residents get help with bathing, dressing, and daily visits, and the in-house therapy programs cover physical, occupational, and speech therapies, as well as rehabilitation for things like joint replacement, post-surgery recovery, stroke, and wound care, and it offers respiratory care and focuses on keeping care plans tailored to each person with input from families, doctors, and staff. Amarillo Medical Lodge's care team provides skilled nursing around the clock, with an emphasis on both comfort and regaining strength and mobility, and it has programs built for staying active, including art classes, fitness programs, social events, community outings, monthly calendars full of different activities, plus worship services right on site. Meals come from nutrition and dietary services that stick to approved standards and proper food handling, with staff following infection prevention programs, working to manage deficiencies, since the facility has had issues before with infection control and food safety, and they're always working to meet care and safety rules. Residents can expect housekeeping and laundry services, walk-in showers, patio areas, well-kept grounds, nutritious meals, and transportation when needed, and there are both studio and companion apartment options for a choice of living arrangements. Amarillo Medical Lodge has 66 residents on average each day and aims to give everyone a safe, comfortable, and respectful home where the focus stays on health, dignity, and individualized care.
