Ware Memorial Care Center

Ware Memorial Care Center occupies a meaningful place in Amarillo's healthcare landscape as a nonprofit skilled nursing facility rooted in community service and compassionate care. Located on South Van Buren Street in central Amarillo, the center is managed by a nonprofit corporation whose mission centers on providing essential long-term care to residents regardless of their financial circumstance—a commitment that sets it apart and reflects the deep civic values of the Amarillo community. As a skilled nursing facility, Ware Memorial provides 24-hour nursing care, medication management, wound care, and rehabilitative services tailored to each resident's medical needs and personal goals. The team includes experienced licensed nurses, certified nursing assistants, and therapy professionals who work collaboratively to deliver care that honors each individual's history, preferences, and dignity. The nonprofit structure means decisions are driven by resident welfare rather than shareholder expectations—a distinction families often find reassuring when selecting long-term care. Ware Memorial's central Amarillo location is one of its most practical strengths. BSA Health System and Northwest Texas Healthcare System are both accessible within the city, supporting smooth transitions of care for residents moving between hospital and nursing facility. The proximity to downtown Amarillo means families can easily pair visits with a meal at one of the city's beloved local restaurants along Polk Street or in the Sixth Street entertainment district, or explore the Amarillo Museum of Art and the Don Harrington Discovery Center. The surrounding South Van Buren neighborhood is steeped in Amarillo's history, and the city's Route 66 corridor—a beloved stretch of Americana just to the north—adds character to the area. Medi Park Lake and its walking trails offer a tranquil outdoor option for residents and visitors seeking fresh air and scenic beauty within the city. For families seeking skilled nursing care anchored in nonprofit values, community accountability, and central Amarillo access, Ware Memorial Care Center is a trusted and enduring choice.
