What the pattern says
Palmelle pattern checks · v1Warehouse warning signs — read the findings below before touring.
- Staffed like a place that cares. Nurses spend 1.5× 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.
- A sedation pattern. Antipsychotic use (31%) and sleep-medication use (29%) are BOTH far above national norms — the pattern associated with medicating residents instead of staffing for them.
- The falls number is the outlier: 4× the national rate. 5.6% of long-stay residents had a fall with major injury vs 1.6% nationally. High staffing makes this surprising, which is exactly why it needs asking about: one bad cluster, a reporting artifact, or a real problem.
- CMS has placed an abuse icon on this facility. A substantiated finding of abuse, neglect, or exploitation is on the federal record.
These checks are computed the same way for every facility. Good patterns and bad ones both print.
