Located at 800 W 13th St, the center sits at the heart of this close-knit West Texas town, offering a familiar, community-rooted environment where residents are known by name—not room number. As a nonprofit corporation, Runningwater Draw Care Center operates with a mission-first philosophy, reinvesting in resident care rather than outside shareholders.

The nearby Runningwater Draw—the natural drainage feature that inspired the center's name—winds through the region, a reminder of the area's distinctive geography. For medical needs beyond the center's skilled nursing services, Lamb Healthcare Center in Littlefield (approximately 20 miles north, the Lamb County seat) provides hospital-level care close to home. Covenant Health Plainview, a full-service hospital in Plainview roughly 30 miles to the east, offers additional specialist access.

Families visiting from Plainview, Levelland, or Lubbock will find the drive manageable and the atmosphere upon arrival warm and unhurried. The surrounding area features local diners, feed stores, and community gathering spots that reflect the authentic character of the Texas South Plains—a setting that can feel like home for seniors who have spent their lives in this region.
