In Better Call Saul, what is the name of the nursing home where Hector Salamanca lives?

The story behind the answer

Hector Salamanca lives at Casa Tranquila in Better Call Saul.

Casa Tranquila is a nursing home in Albuquerque where Hector receives care after his stroke leaves him unable to walk and severely limits his speech. He communicates mainly through facial expressions and a specially mounted bell, which becomes one of the character's most recognizable props.

The facility also connects Hector's personal story to the wider cartel conflict. Gus Fring visits and monitors him, while Mike and Nacho become involved in events surrounding Hector's medical condition. Casa Tranquila is not the same place as the industrial laundry associated with Los Pollos Hermanos, and it is not a restaurant. Its Spanish name translates roughly as “quiet house.”
