What the pattern says
Palmelle pattern checks · v1Mixed — worth touring with these questions in hand.
- A sedation pattern. Antipsychotic use (23%) and sleep-medication use (23%) are BOTH far above national norms — the pattern associated with medicating residents instead of staffing for them.
- $55,361 in federal fines. 3 penalties 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.
