The Palmelle ReadUpdated 16 Sep 2026

The record on Milton Freewater Health and Rehabilitation cuts both ways. On one side, nurses here log 1.5 times the national average of registered-nurse time with each resident, and staff turnover is roughly half the U.S. rate. On the other, inspectors levied $8,278 in federal fines over the last 36 months, and reported staffing does not match the payroll-based hours. The sections below show exactly where each number comes from — read them before you tour.

What the pattern says

Palmelle pattern checks · v1

Mixed — a strong record with one number that needs an answer.

  • No sedation pattern. Sleep-medication use is below national norms. Antipsychotic use is elevated, but paired with high staffing this reads clinical, not custodial — ask the medical director about their reduction program.
  • $8,278 in federal fines. 1 penalty 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.
