Tuskegee Airmen State Veterans Home

I called and inquired about a tour of the facility. Lennae a was exceptionally nice and said we could come any time, but expressed it would be better for us between 10:00-2:00 because of high traffic during the rest of the day. We choose to go at 10:00 and traffic was very easy to maneuver through. To our surprise we drove up to a beautiful, “NEW” VA Home. The outside was very manicured and landscaped very well. We walked in the front door and the reception room was very inviting. The open floor plan and the decor of the building made the thought of a “Home” for your loved one’s breath easier. It didn’t have that closed in feeling. The receptionist greeted us with such warmth. She was very pleasant and she asked us to wait a few minutes in the reception area. While we waited, we were greeted by so many different employees of the home, that were passing by during their shifts. It was a Great way to start our tour. Lennae, Director of Admissions, came from her office, introduced herself and took us around the entire facility. It is such an open, airy building and the staff all smiled, and greeted us as we passed by. There are “Special Rooms” for everything- the building is divided into 4 sections. Each section has so many bedrooms, a common area, with kitchen, and outside patios. There is a barber shop, therapy room and a large entertainment room where activities are held. To end our tour, we were introduced to a Veteran named Gerald, that lived at the home. He expressed how much he enjoyed living at the Home and how it had been a life saver for him. He had just had surgery and the VA Medical facility was across the street. All of the experiences he had had, had been exceptional. He expressed he was hoping to see us soon. He definitely helped with the anxiety of having to move to a home. Made you feel more relaxed and accepting. All in all, we were very impressed with everything at Tuskegee Airmen Texas State VA Home. I don’t think we could find a nicer home with so much to offer.
