Sample family reviews
Notes from our families
Mama grew up in a house like this in Lipan. She walked in, put her hand on the porch rail and said, well, this will do. That was four years ago.
Lorena is a nurse first. When Dad's medications were fighting each other, she caught it before his doctor did.
Sunday dinner at the Brazos House is the best meal my family eats all week. I am not exaggerating.
My parents share the companion suite. Fifty-eight years married, and they still argue about the thermostat. The staff just laughs.
They took Mom to the matinee at the opera house. She talked about it for a month.
When Dad went on hospice, Marisol came in on her day off to sit with him. That is who works here.
Come for supper. Stay for the porch.
Tours end at the dining table whenever we can manage it. Call Lorena or book a time below.
