What the pattern says

Palmelle pattern checks · v1

Mixed — worth touring with these questions in hand.

  • Staffing below the line. Residents get 57 min of nursing time a day against a national norm of 3 hr 37 min, and 81% of nurses leave each year — thin staffing is the first warehouse warning sign.
  • The falls number is the outlier: 3× the national rate. 5.5% 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. Non-profit operated — 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.
