Asher Point Independent Living of Amarillo sits at 4707 Bell Street, right in the southwest part of Amarillo, close to the Route 66 Historic District and near places like Hodgetown Stadium and John Stiff Park, which makes it nice for people who enjoy being near both quiet neighborhoods and local attractions with a relaxing courtyard full of mature trees, benches, and walkways where you can sit outside and watch the flags flying or just walk a bit, and the building itself is a multi-story brick place with balconies and a welcoming lobby that's got a chandelier, comfortable chairs, and decorative touches that make it look and feel calm yet elegant, so when folks come in they see right away there's an effort to keep things pleasant without making you feel like it's too formal. The apartments here come in a range of sizes from studios up to two-bedroom places-some of those have two bathrooms, which is handy if people like a bit of extra privacy or if family comes to visit, and you see these apartments let residents use their own style to furnish so your room always feels like your own space while pets, including cats and dogs, are welcome so you don't have to leave them behind, and the square footage runs from 408 to 1,244 square feet, which gives plenty of choice depending on if you want something easy to manage or a bit more room. All utilities, things like heat, air conditioning, cable TV, and Wi-Fi in common spaces come included in the monthly rent so you know what you're paying each month with the flexibility of month-to-month leases and no long-term commitment, which is something a lot of people like who want ease. Folks here get three meals a day from an on-site team that cooks from scratch in a restaurant-style dining room where homestyle meals get served to your table and the washing up is taken care of, which can take a load off if you're tired of cooking or cleaning. When it comes to day-to-day living, there are weekly housekeeping, linen service, maintenance when something needs fixing, laundry facilities on-site, and scheduled rides for errands or appointments, so even though this is independent living people still can get a hand with chores if they want to focus on enjoying their retirement years.
There's a tenured staff on site, including a General Manager who helps keep things running smoothly, and the community keeps things lively by putting on dozens of activities each month with classes in Tai Chi, dance, yoga, things focused on creativity and learning, plus regular games or social events to help people connect and have an easy way to meet others, and the place features a fitness center, a library, several indoor lounge areas, and a billiards game room with a pool table and comfortable seats, so people who like to be active or socialize can do that all under one roof. Residents who use wheelchairs or walkers find features like wide hallways, handrails, and emergency call devices a comfort, and there's a big focus on keeping things safe with smoke alarms, sprinkler systems, and a generally accessible layout. Asher Point Independent Living operates as a continuing care retirement community which means while the main focus is independent living, it can offer assisted living and memory care services if people need them down the line, which some folks find comforting knowing they can get extra help if their needs change. The community aims to support seniors who want to stay independent as long as possible but still want a safe home where they can meet new friends, attend activities, and relax in their own space. Tours around the community can show what a day looks like, what meals get served, and how activities run, and all these things come together to create a simple, comfortable spot for seniors aged 55 and up who want a maintenance-free lifestyle with the freedom to come and go or stay home and socialize as much or as little as they want.
