Brazos Tower at Bayou Manor offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care and skilled nursing care in Houston, Texas. Nursing home and skilled nursing care provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Assisted living supports residents with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing and taking medication while they keep their own apartment. Independent living provides a private home with community services and no daily care, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.
The combination of care levels may be a good fit for a resident whose needs may grow over time, because care can change without leaving the community. With 33 beds, the community is smaller, giving staff and residents the opportunity to get to know one another. Brazos Tower at Bayou Manor opened in 1963 and is operated by Brazos Presbyterian Homes.
Residents can exercise at the indoor pool and in the wellness and fitness centers without leaving the community. Rehabilitation services also allow therapy to be received on site. Respite care provides a short stay when a resident’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.
Medicare and private pay are accepted. Medicare can cover short term skilled care after a hospital stay, while private pay means the resident or family pays directly.
Total nurse staffing is 5 hours and 30 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nursing time allocated to each resident. In the Braeswood neighborhood, the area has a Walk Score of 64 and is somewhat walkable, so some errands can be completed on foot. A resident who no longer drives may be able to manage limited outings independently.
