What the pattern says
Palmelle pattern checks · v1Warehouse warning signs — read the findings below before touring.
- A sedation pattern. Antipsychotic use (45%) and sleep-medication use (24%) 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. 6.8% 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.
- $18,353 in federal fines. 1 penalty in the last 36 months — the citation detail is in the record above.
These checks are computed the same way for every facility. Good patterns and bad ones both print.
