What the pattern says

Palmelle pattern checks · v1

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

  • Staffed like a place that cares. Nurses spend 1.7× the national RN time with each resident, and staff turnover is below the U.S. average — the opposite of the churn you see in warehouse facilities.
  • The falls number is the outlier: 4× the national rate. 6.0% 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.
