What the pattern says
Palmelle pattern checks · v1
Warehouse warning signs — read the findings below before touring.
Staffing below the line. Residents get 3 hr 23 min of nursing time a day against a national norm of 3 hr 37 min — thin staffing is the first warehouse warning sign.
A sedation pattern. Antipsychotic use (26%) and sleep-medication use (43%) are BOTH far above national norms — the pattern associated with medicating residents instead of staffing for them.
The falls number is the outlier: 3× the national rate. 5.4% 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.
$337,573 in federal fines. 4 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.
