The Palmelle ReadUpdated 3 Oct 2026

The record on Emory L Bennett Memorial Veterans Nursing Home cuts both ways. On one side, nurses here log 1.6 times the national average of registered-nurse time with each resident. On the other, inspectors levied $9,503 in federal fines over the last 36 months, and reported staffing does not match the payroll-based hours. The sections below show exactly where each number comes from — read them before you tour.
