Belen Meadows Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center is a 120-bed skilled nursing facility owned by Emmanuel Wilson in Belen, New Mexico. Located at 1831 Camino Del Llano in a highly walkable neighborhood (Walk Score 70), it accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay, offering routes for short-term rehabilitation and longer-term care. The average stay duration is roughly 120 days, reflecting a mix of post-acute recovery and ongoing nursing care occupants.
The home is built around comprehensive nursing and medical support. Total nursing care averages 3 hours 26 minutes per resident daily, with registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed nurses all on staff. Backed by 24-hour staffing, an on-site medical director, nurse practitioner, and attending physicians provide direct care oversight. This level of on-site medical presence means families don’t coordinate outside appointments for routine physician involvement. Clinically, Belen Meadows Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center spotlights rehabilitation, with a dedicated orthopedic rehabilitation program alongside general respite and recovery services. The home is a practical choice for qualifying VA residents since it holds a Veterans Administration contract. Beyond core nursing, it supplies podiatry care, psychiatric services, vision care, on-site X-ray, and pain management, decreasing the need for occupants to leave the building for specialized services. Daily life includes private and semi-private rooms with private bathrooms, a dining room with in-room dining options for those wanting privacy, and activity and garden spaces. The community has a beauty salon and barber services, and housekeeping and laundry are handled on-site. Pet therapy is available, and residents can access cable television and comfortable common areas for visiting families. The neighborhood’s good walkability means family members can navigate the surrounding area on foot during visits.
Medication management, environmental safety, and infection control practices are among the areas that state inspections implied needing attention. These are operational matters that families touring the home can ask about and discuss with the care team.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

Hours per resident per day vs New Mexico averages
Total nursing care
This home is ranked 34th out of 46 homes in New Mexico for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
3h 26m
14% below state avg
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
5 of 6 metrics below state avg

Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."
