At 320 Lorenaly Dr in Brownsville, Texas, this 120-bed nursing home offers skilled nursing, memory care, rehabilitation, therapy, and hospice services to residents across Cameron County. Administered by Giselle Gomez and operated by Regency IHS of Brownsville LLC, the facility maintains an above average 81.2% occupancy rate and primarily serves short-term rehabilitation patients with an average stay of 67 days. Walk score 34 indicates most residents will need transportation for daily services. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay; the resident census reflects a payer mix of 75.5% Medicaid, 19.5% private pay, and 5% Medicare.
Nursing coverage runs 2 hours 39 minutes per resident daily, which is 30% below Texas state norms and places staffing 284th among 289 Texas nursing homes.

Regulatory findings show 10 inspections since 2023 with 40 total health citations. The most recent December 2025 inspection identified deficiencies related to medication consent, care plan updating, and physician communication; all subsequently corrected. Three critical citations were documented; recurring themes across all inspections include quality of life and care management (23% of citations), pharmacy and medication services (20%), and resident rights (8%). Two federal penalties totaling $62,000 were assessed; no Medicare/Medicaid payment denials occurred.
Quality outcome measures demonstrate strong performance on vaccination rates, short-stay rehabilitation success, and preventing functional decline, although weight loss rates and emergency department utilization exceed state benchmarks.
The facility’s care model and length-of-stay patterns structure it for short-term post-acute rehabilitation, with operational capacity supporting both Medicare short-stay admissions and a substantial Medicaid long-stay population.
Brownsville Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is administered by Giselle Gomez.
