What the pattern says

Palmelle pattern checks · v1

Warehouse warning signs — read the findings below before touring.

  • A sedation pattern. Antipsychotic use (27%) and sleep-medication use (21%) are BOTH far above national norms — the pattern associated with medicating residents instead of staffing for them.
  • The falls number is the outlier: 3× the national rate. 4.9% 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.
  • Clean accountability record. Non-profit operated — and 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.
