MedicareThe cover story
Recovery on the coast looks like this.
Most of our patients didn't come home from the hospital to sit. They came home to walk the seawall again, to get back to the Thursday fish fry at church, to see the grandkids in Flour Bluff. Rosalinda Guerra built Oso Bay around that idea in 1996: ask people what they want to get back to, then build the care plan to get them there.
Thirty years later we're a team of fifty nurses, therapists and aides across the Coastal Bend. More than half of us speak Spanish at home. We know that hurricane season means extra supplies before August, and that a patient in Port Aransas needs a nurse who doesn't mind the ferry.

Life on the Coastal Bend
Getting better should look like the life you had before: the seawall at sunset, Sunday dinner with the family, a line in the water. That's the goal of every visit.

Letters from readers
My goal was to walk the seawall with my wife again. Kwame had me there in seven weeks.
La enfermera le explicó todo a mi mamá en español. For the first time, she understood her own medicines.
Brianna took the ferry to Port A twice a week for my wound. Never late, never complained.
Before hurricane season they made sure Dad had extra oxygen and a plan. That's thinking ahead.
Rogelio got my VA paperwork moving after two years of nothing.
They kept my diabetes plan realistic. Tortillas stayed. Portions shrank.
The night nurse knew exactly who my husband was at 2 a.m. We stayed home.
Ana Lucía rearranged Mom's kitchen so she could cook again after her stroke. Her enchiladas are back.
Danny had the first visit set up while Mom was still being discharged from the hospital.
I went fishing off Bob Hall Pier six weeks after my knee replacement. Brought pictures for my therapist.
