We recently hosted a special event for our residents at the Ambrosio Guillen TSVH to help raise awareness for breast cancer.

Our hearts go out to all of the women who are battling this devastating disease. Stay strong! ❤

Earlier this month, our Veterans spent quality time with some four-legged friends on National Dog Day! 🐶

We absolutely love dogs at the Ambrosio Guillen TSVH! They never fail to brighten up our days! ♥

Back in July, ahead of our 20th Anniversary Celebration, the Ambrosio Guillen TSVH was proudly honored with a special county recognition celebrating our legacy of care and commitment. 💙 📄

The El Paso County Commissioners Court issued a formal Resolution recognizing AGTSVH’s excellence, leadership, and enduring contributions to the community.

This prestigious honor is a heartfelt reflection of the compassionate service provided every day by the HMRVSI staff—and their lasting impact on the lives of Veterans and their families. ❤️

We are honored to share this special moment from the 20th Anniversary Celebration of the Ambrosio Guillen Texas State Veterans Home!✨

Ahead of our celebration on July 18, 2025, the United States Senate, through Senator Ted Cruz, presented our home with a Certificate of Recognition—acknowledging two decades of service, care, and commitment to our Veterans. 💙

This beautiful gesture reminds us that our Veterans’ sacrifices are deeply valued at every level of government.

Our Story

Because the VA subsidizes much of a veteran’s cost to stay at a VLB Texas State Veterans Home, daily out-of-pocket rates are well below average and include the cost of medications for Veterans. Residents can choose between a spacious private or semi-private room based upon availability. Alzheimer’s units at each home provide highly specialized care, including beautifully landscaped, secure courtyards.

Like all VLB programs, the Texas State Veterans Homes are self-supporting and cost Texas taxpayers virtually nothing.
