The Palmelle ReadUpdated 3 Oct 2026

The record on Coal Creek Post Acute & Assisted Living cuts both ways. On one side, nurses here log 1.4 times the national average of registered-nurse time with each resident. On the other, antipsychotic use runs 2.7 times the national median, and falls with major injury far outpace the national rate. The sections below show exactly where each number comes from — read them before you tour.

What the pattern says

Palmelle pattern checks · v1

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

  • 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.
  • The falls number is the outlier: 8× the national rate. 12.5% 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.
