I did a tour of BeeHive Homes of Amarillo. It was adequate, but I'm not overly impressed. It felt like a place to live out the rest of your life. It looked like it was run on a shoestring budget. The staff were good; it was multitasking. It seemed like they had a smaller staff, and they had more things that were required. There was very little activity. There's not a lot of life going on there, there was very little living. You didn't feel like taking your loved one there or someone that you care about. The staff was trying. They had more required out of them because of the smaller staff, and more expected out of them. It was very dirty walking in there. They're serving a niche, but not the higher-end niche. They're serving kind of the lower standard to a lower price point. Pricing wise they were comparable; they were within $500, but the rooms were not the same thing. A lot of it had to do with the fact that it was a small staff. The only person I saw never moved the whole time they were in a chair. I'm thinking somebody needs to check on them. The other places were feeling a little more upscale, you feel like you could live in them. In this one, you did not feel it, you feel like you're going there to die. That's the best way I can put it.

BeeHive Homes of Amarillo was very nice and clean. The staff was very helpful as far as explaining what they do. They have movie nights and a place they could step outside doing barbecue. The meals are included, and it was more of a home environment. The staff was very nice and welcoming.
