The Sycamore at Park Central sits in Amarillo, Texas, and people recognize it for specializing in support for seniors with Alzheimer's and dementia, making safety and quality of life a top priority for everyone there, and you know, it's part of Baptist Community Services so you see some influence from Texas Baptists Family in how they run things, and when it comes to what they offer, you're looking at assisted living, memory care, independent living, nursing home services, rehabilitation, adult day care, home health care, and even some active adult options. With a setting that fits 56 residents, you'll find both studio and two-bedroom apartments, private bathrooms, kitchens or kitchenettes, laundry units, safety features like sprinklers, and cable and internet included, all in a large single-story floor plan with outdoor patios, courtyards, secure walking paths, and a building shaped on a "small house" design so folks have an easier time getting around, especially if they're struggling with memory loss.
