I have needed to stay here twice. Both after hospital stay. Their physical therapy is hands down the best I have ever been to. I will be needing surgery again in 12 days and I hope a bed will be free for me

So grateful for the care my aunt is receiving at Bandera Nursing. Alzheimer’s is new to our family. Our aunt’s safety and care is our priority. The care she gets is wonderful and the communication with me is top notch and very much appreciated. Thank you for all you do!
