What the pattern says

Palmelle pattern checks · v1

Mixed — worth touring with these questions in hand.

  • The falls number is the outlier: 4× the national rate. 7.2% 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.
  • $241,488 in federal fines. 2 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.
