What the pattern says
Palmelle pattern checks · v1Warehouse warning signs — read the findings below before touring.
- No sedation pattern. Sleep-medication use is below national norms. Antipsychotic use is elevated, but paired with high staffing this reads clinical, not custodial — ask the medical director about their reduction program.
- The falls number is the outlier: 3× the national rate. 4.1% 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.
- Physical restraint use is far above the national rate. 3.6% vs 1.1% nationally — ask for the facility's restraint policy in writing.
- $5,814 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.
