The Palmelle ReadUpdated 6 Aug 2026

The record on Holbrook Healthcare Center cuts both ways. On one side, staff turnover is roughly half the U.S. rate. On the other, CMS rates it 1 out of 5 stars overall and 1 for the health inspection that drives it, and registered-nurse time runs well below the national average. The sections below show exactly where each number comes from — read them before you tour.

What the pattern says

Palmelle pattern checks · v1

Warehouse warning signs — read the findings below before touring.

  • Staffing below the line. Residents get 3 hr 21 min of nursing time a day against a national norm of 3 hr 37 min — thin staffing is the first warehouse warning sign.
  • The falls number is the outlier: 3× the national rate. 4.0% 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.
  • $79,108 in federal fines. 2 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.
