Key Review Excerpts
“Our family friend was at Brazos Tower @ Bayou Manor in healthcare for 3 months. Yes, it was terribly expensive once insurance stopped paying, but the care was very good. None of these places is perfect, but the Third Floor nurses (Tiffany, Nikki) were GREAT!”
“The facilities and outdoor gardens and seating areas are immaculate . Lunch is superb in the dining food with excellent filet steak and service.”
“I’m so pleased with the care the skilled nursing health care provided for my mother. They went above & beyond with the care, the commitment, the therapy... I cannot give them anything less than 150%”
