Two kinds of assisted living in Amarillo
Both are licensed by Texas as assisted living. Larger communities suit people who want social life and on-site services; small homes suit people who do better with quiet, familiar routines, including many people with dementia.

How much does assisted living cost in Amarillo?
The median cost of assisted living in Texas is $5,666 a month ($67,992 a year), below the national median of $6,200. That’s CareScout’s 2025 survey, collected July to November 2025. 3 Amarillo communities publish a starting price on Lilisity, from $3,005 to $4,035 a month. If more care is needed: nursing home costs in Texas, with CareScout medians and the private-pay rates nursing homes publish. Small residential homes often cost less than larger communities, though care needs, room type and services move the price more than the building does.
Medicare does not pay for assisted living. People pay from savings and income, long-term care insurance, or VA Aid and Attendance (up to $29,093 a year for a veteran in 2026), and some qualify for Medicaid help with care costs at communities that accept it. Who actually pays for long-term care.
