Richard A. Anderson (state of Texas Veterans Land

The Richard A. Anderson Texas State Veterans Home is a proudly dedicated skilled nursing facility serving the men and women who have served our country, located on Cottingham Road in southeast Houston. Managed by TexVet in partnership with the Texas Veterans Land Board, this community provides specialized long-term and post-acute skilled nursing care designed specifically to honor and meet the unique needs of Texas veterans and their spouses. Situated in the 77048 zip code near the South Post Oak and Sunnyside corridors of southeast Houston, the community benefits from its proximity to the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center, located in the Texas Medical Center on South Shaver Street—one of the nation's most comprehensive veterans' health systems and a critical resource for residents with complex or service-connected medical needs. Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital along Beltway 8 provides additional acute care access, and multiple specialty clinics serve the broader southeast Houston area. The facility's location offers easy access to Hobby Airport (William P. Hobby Airport), making travel simpler for out-of-town family members. The Almeda Mall on Gulf Freeway serves families looking to shop nearby, and Pearland's extensive retail and dining scene is just a short drive south via the South Loop or Gulf Freeway. Hermann Park and the Museum District in central Houston—home to the Houston Zoo, Miller Outdoor Theatre, and the Houston Museum of Natural Science—are accessible for family outings celebrating veterans and their stories. TexVet and the Texas Veterans Land Board bring a deep commitment to veteran-centered care at this facility, ensuring that residents receive skilled nursing services tailored to the specific health challenges and honor that veterans deserve. From post-surgical recovery to long-term memory care support and chronic condition management, the clinical team here understands that veterans have earned the very best in care.
