The Palmelle ReadUpdated 3 Aug 2026

The record on Pearl City Post Acute cuts both ways. On one side, nurses here log 2.8 times the national average of registered-nurse time with each resident, and staff turnover is roughly half the U.S. rate. On the other, reported staffing does not match the payroll-based hours, and physical restraint use runs far above 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

Mixed — a strong record with one number that needs an answer.

  • Staffed like a place that cares. Nurses spend 2.8× the national RN time with each resident, and staff turnover is half the U.S. average — the opposite of the churn you see in warehouse facilities.
  • Physical restraint use is far above the national rate. 7.4% vs 1.1% nationally — ask for the facility's restraint policy in writing.
  • Clean accountability record. There are no fines, flags, or abuse findings on the federal record.

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