What the pattern says
Palmelle pattern checks · v1Warehouse warning signs — read the findings below before touring.
- A sedation pattern. Antipsychotic use (24%) and sleep-medication use (29%) are BOTH far above national norms — the pattern associated with medicating residents instead of staffing for them.
- The falls number is the outlier: 3× the national rate. 5.0% 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.
- Clean accountability record. Hospital-district owned — a public hospital answers for this building, and 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.
