What the pattern says
Palmelle pattern checks · v1Mixed — worth touring with these questions in hand.
- Staffing below the line. Residents get 2 hr 26 min of nursing time a day against a national norm of 3 hr 37 min, and 87% of nurses leave each year — thin staffing is the first warehouse warning sign.
- The falls number is the outlier: 2× the national rate. 4.0% 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.
- Clean accountability record. 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.
