The Palmelle ReadUpdated 3 Jul 2026

The record on Eastside Center for Health & Rehabilitation cuts both ways. On one side, nurses here log 1.7 times the national average of registered-nurse time with each resident. On the other, inspectors levied $11,190 in federal fines over the last 36 months, and unplanned weight loss runs above the national rate, which is usually a feeding-assistance problem. 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 1.7× the national RN time with each resident, and staff turnover is below the U.S. average — the opposite of the churn you see in warehouse facilities.
  • $11,190 in federal fines. 1 penalty in the last 36 months — the citation detail is in the record above.

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