What the pattern says
Palmelle pattern checks · v1
Mixed — a strong record with one number that needs an answer.
The falls number is the outlier: 3× the national rate. 4.2% 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.
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.
St Joseph Villa has an overall CMS Care Compare rating of 3 out of 5 stars.
