The Palmelle ReadUpdated 5 May 2026

Some five-star ratings survive a close read. This one does: nurses here log 4.4 times the national average of registered-nurse time with each resident, and inspectors rated the last health survey 5 out of 5 and levied no fines. In Laredo, that is the profile families hope to find.
