Brazos Healthcare has an amazing therapy team. Time and time again patients have came in a wheelchair and left walking out the front door back to independence. All of the departments work together as a team to make sure residents get the best care available.

Kristi Lawson was very informative from the time<br>I walked in she made me feel very comfortable and showed me all around and introduced me to a few people… I left there not in tears as we are making big changes that have not come easy to our family… she continues to reach out weekly to check in.. making sure if we need anything just let her know. I think we will have a long standing relationship as my husband transitions into long term care.
