What the pattern says

Palmelle pattern checks · v1

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

  • Antipsychotic use runs high. 24% of long-stay residents are on antipsychotics against a 14% national median — ask what share have a qualifying diagnosis.
  • 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.
