The Palmelle ReadUpdated 6 Aug 2026

The record on Gilpin Hall cuts both ways. On one side, staff turnover is roughly half the U.S. rate. On the other, CMS has placed an abuse icon on the record, and falls with major injury far outpace the national rate. The sections below show exactly where each number comes from — read them before you tour.

What the pattern says

Palmelle pattern checks · v1

Warehouse warning signs — read the findings below before touring.

  • The falls number is the outlier: 2× the national rate. 3.5% of long-stay residents had a fall with major injury vs 1.6% nationally. Combined with the staffing picture, ask hard questions: one bad cluster, a reporting artifact, or a real problem.
  • CMS has placed an abuse icon on this facility. A substantiated finding of abuse, neglect, or exploitation is on the federal record.

These checks are computed the same way for every facility. Good patterns and bad ones both print.
