What the pattern says

Palmelle pattern checks · v1

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

  • The falls number is the outlier: 2× the national rate. 3.4% 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.
