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.

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	52m per day	▲ 105% State avg: 25m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	1h 12m per day	▲ 28% State avg: 57m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	4h 18m per day	▲ 113% State avg: 2h 1m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	5h 53m per day	▲ 96% State avg: 3h 0m per day · National avg: 3h 27m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	6m per day	▲ 41% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	32m per day	▲ 58% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 29m per day
