Skywest Assisted Living sits at 2623 12th Ave in Canyon, Texas, and offers care for seniors who want both independence and support in a home-like place. The facility is locally owned and managed by Lonnie Shaw and follows a family-owned and operated model with a tradition in the Texas Panhandle. The team includes staff members like a Maintenance Manager, Training Manager, Registered Nurse, Activities Director, Executive Assistant & Marketing Director, Facility Directors, and others, all chosen for their kindness and caregiving heart. Residents will often see Rey, the resident joy giver dog, who adds a cheerful touch to the atmosphere.
The community can support up to 16 residents with assisted living and memory care services for those living with Alzheimer's or dementia. Skywest offers 24/7 care and supervision, including help with bathing, dressing, medication, transfers, and activities of daily living, all tailored through personalized care plans. The staff steps up their care during a resident's final days and keeps supporting families even after a loved one's passing.
Every resident has a furnished room with a telephone, cable TV, and emergency alert systems for safety. The facility stays cheerful, safe, and clean, with walking paths, accessible outdoor space, a garden, and a media room for recreation and quiet time. Meal preparation and dining happen in a shared dining room with special diet options like allergy-sensitive and diabetes-friendly menus. There's a weekly on-site salon stylist, housekeeping, linen change, and laundry plus dry cleaning services.
Skywest focuses on open, direct communication between residents, families, and management and partners with families to provide peace of mind. Staff arrange transportation for outings and help coordinate healthcare and move-in support for new residents. The activities calendar includes things like music, movie nights, group events, and daily social or recreational activities that encourage friendships and prevent isolation. The community room, walking paths, and garden offer places to gather and relax.
Skywest Assisted Living aims to create a calm, caring spot where older adults maintain their independence, enjoy supportive help, and have meaningful connections. The home atmosphere, the partnership with families, and the commitment to understanding each resident's individual needs stand out, while the connection to the local area remains strong with an affiliation to the Canyon Chamber of Commerce. Tours are available Monday through Friday.
