The Palmelle ReadUpdated 5 May 2026

This is a record that holds up under a close read: nurses here log 1.4 times the national average of registered-nurse time with each resident, staff turnover is roughly half the U.S. rate, and inspectors rated the last health survey 4 out of 5 and levied no fines. In Wessington Springs, that is the profile families hope to find.

What the pattern says

Palmelle pattern checks · v1

Reads like care — the pattern checks come back clean.

  • 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.
  • Clean accountability record. Non-profit operated — and 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.
