Part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community campus in Houston’s Braeswood neighborhood, Brazos Tower at Bayou Manor provides nursing home care, assisted living, and memory care services within a nonprofit setting. The community is operated by Brazos Presbyterian Homes, Inc. and includes 33 skilled nursing beds. The facility does not accept Medicaid but does accept Medicare and private pay.
The facility holds a 5-star CMS overall rating. Its Health Inspection record is among the strongest in the state: 5 total citations over the past three years, ranking 6th out of 292 Texas SNFs, with a per-inspection citation rate of 1.67, compared with a Texas average of 3.67. None of those citations were critical or serious, and all five were moderate. Eight civil money penalties totaling $57,000 were assessed in 2023, roughly 29% below the Texas average for penalized facilities; no payment denials have been issued.
Staffing stands out. Nurse staffing averages 5 hours and 47 minutes per resident per day, and the staff-to-resident ratio of 2.86:1 is nearly double the Texas average of 1.48:1, a meaningful figure for residents with complex care needs. Occupancy is 80.2%, about 26 points above the state average, indicating consistent demand. The payer mix is 72% Medicare and 28% private pay, with a 26-day average Medicare stay, reflecting a short-term rehabilitation orientation.
Amenities include an indoor pool, wellness and fitness center, a bistro for casual gourmet dining, and a 180-seat event and performance center. The facility does not accept Medicaid.
Brazos Tower suits residents seeking short-term post-acute rehabilitation or longer-term assisted living and memory care within a well-resourced, nonprofit CCRC campus in Houston’s Braeswood corridor.
