What the pattern says
Palmelle pattern checks · v1Mixed — worth touring with these questions in hand.
- Antipsychotic use runs high. 27% of long-stay residents are on antipsychotics against a 14% national median — ask what share have a qualifying diagnosis.
- The falls number is the outlier: 2× the national rate. 3.7% 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.
- $6,300 in federal fines. 1 penalty in the last 36 months — the citation detail is in the record above.
