The Palmelle ReadUpdated 2 Jul 2026

The record on Powder River Manor cuts both ways. On one side, nurses here log 1.4 times the national average of registered-nurse time with each resident. On the other, inspectors levied $52,551 in federal fines over the last 36 months, and the star rating runs ahead of what the underlying measures support. The sections below show exactly where each number comes from — read them before you tour.
