Overview of The Sycamore

The Sycamore provides nursing home, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing in Amarillo, Texas. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks while a resident keeps a private living space; memory care provides supervision in a secured setting; and skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

The range of care types may suit a resident whose needs change over time and who may be able to remain within the community as care needs grow. With 56 beds, the setting is smaller, allowing staff and residents to get to know each other. Outdoor patios and internal courtyards provide places to spend time outside, while a spa room and quiet room offer designated spaces for personal care or peaceful time.

Pastoral care is available, and pets are allowed. Transportation is available for medical appointments, which can help a resident attend scheduled care without arranging a separate ride. Daily menu choices include special diets, and rehabilitation services are available through contract therapy services and skilled nursing and rehabilitation. A Walk Score of 62 means some errands can be done on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may still be able to reach certain nearby destinations independently. Baptist Community Services operates The Sycamore.
