The Palmelle ReadUpdated 3 Oct 2026

The record on Access Mental Health cuts both ways. On one side, staff turnover is roughly half the U.S. rate. On the other, inspectors levied $114,739 in federal fines over the last 36 months, and antipsychotic use runs 5.4 times the national median. The sections below show exactly where each number comes from — read them before you tour.

What the pattern says

Palmelle pattern checks · v1

Mixed — worth touring with these questions in hand.

  • A sedation pattern. Antipsychotic use (75%) and sleep-medication use (31%) are BOTH far above national norms — the pattern associated with medicating residents instead of staffing for them.
  • $114,739 in federal fines. 3 penalties in the last 36 months — the citation detail is in the record above.

These checks are computed the same way for every facility. Good patterns and bad ones both print.
