Guest Stories

Recovery that feels like home.

From post-surgical patients to medical tourists to families of veterans — the words we hear most often are warm, professional, and safe.

They did a great job helping me get better with my breathing treatment, and I’m highly impressed with how professional the staff is. They welcomed me with respect and care. They are fast-paced and focused on helping me get better.

A Note From The Founder

Kemelia Mckenzie

Founder & Operator · TMHP-Approved HCBS Provider

“After several back procedures and seeing the need for a true recovery home in Houston, my sister and I built Nesta’s — named for our grandmother. I bring 15+ years of legal and healthcare operations experience to a space that needs systems, compliance, and heart in equal measure. We don’t just operate one model. We operate five — because care is rarely linear, and our guests deserve a partner who can meet them at every stage.”

Post-surgical recovery patients (plastic, bariatric, orthopedic, oncology), international and domestic medical tourists, veterans needing personal care, and seniors transitioning to independent or assisted living. We serve a mix — every guest gets the same standard.
Yes. We partner with discharge planners, international patient programs, and physician practices at MD Anderson, Houston Methodist, Memorial Hermann, Texas Medical Center, and UTMH. Hospital partnership inquiries are routed to our liaison team within one business day.
For residential guests, yes — transportation to follow-up appointments, the airport, and same-city specialist visits is bundled into your stay. Non-residential medical transport is also available as a standalone service.
Our Elite Assisted Living model is in the HHSC Type A licensing process (target 2026). Our personal care home, veteran care, and post-surgical recovery models operate under appropriate regulatory frameworks and our TMHP HCBS approval.
Most stays are private pay or self-paid medical tourism. We accept long-term care insurance, VA Aid & Attendance for eligible veterans, and select TMHP/Medicaid waivers for assisted living guests. We handle invoicing for hospital partners and international clients directly.
About a third of our medical tourism guests are international. We are bilingual, provide airport pickup, coordinate with embassy programs, and bill in your preferred currency.
