The Palmelle ReadUpdated 3 Oct 2026

What the pattern says
Palmelle pattern checks · v1
Mixed — worth touring with these questions in hand.
The falls number is the outlier: 7× the national rate. 10.6% 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.
$8,190 in federal fines. 1 penalty in the last 36 months — the citation detail is in the record above.
