Overview of Spanish Meadows

Operated by Empire Spanish Meadows, Ltd under owner Rl Spanish Meadows, Spanish Meadows is a skilled nursing home in Brownsville, Texas. The community accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, giving families flexibility when arranging coverage for short-term post-acute care and longer-term nursing services. The 120-bed facility has an occupancy rate of 84%, with a steady market census.

Residents stay an average of about 128 days, including those recovering after surgery or hospitalization and requiring ongoing skilled nursing care. Rehabilitation services and short-term rehabilitation programs are available.

The facility also has a dedicated respiratory care and ventilator unit separate from its main nursing center. Serving residents with ventilator needs and other medically complex conditions, this specialized unit expands the home’s clinical capabilities. This level of service may matter to families seeking respiratory support or intensive nursing care.

Total nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 8 minutes per resident each day. Registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses are part of the staffing structure. There’s 24-hour staffing to support residents’ needs throughout the day and night.

The Brownsville location has a Walk Score of 2, so the area is highly car-dependent. Most family visits and errands require transportation. However, the facility’s location has access to local healthcare resources and the surrounding community. State inspections have shown compliance with health and life safety standards. No reported deficiencies have been noted.

Quality ratings

Measured by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Overall rating Info 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.
Health Inspection Info 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.
Staffing Info 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.
Quality Measures Info 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.

vs avg

5 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +35% above state avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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. 10m per day ▼ 63% State avg: 26m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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. 1h 17m per day ▲ 35% State avg: 57m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info 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. 1h 52m per day ▼ 7% State avg: 2h 1m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info 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. 2h 53m per day ▼ 3% State avg: 2h 59m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info 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. 4m per day ▼ 6% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info 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. 6m per day ▼ 72% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 28m per day
