The Palmelle ReadUpdated 20 Jul 2026

The record on Evergreen House Health Center cuts both ways. On one side, staff turnover is roughly half the U.S. rate. On the other, registered-nurse time runs well below the national average, and antipsychotic use runs 1.5 times the national median. The sections below show exactly where each number comes from — read them before you tour.

What the pattern says

Palmelle pattern checks · v1

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

  • A sedation pattern. Antipsychotic use (21%) and sleep-medication use (20%) are BOTH far above national norms — the pattern associated with medicating residents instead of staffing for them.
  • 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.
