What the pattern says
Palmelle pattern checks · v1Warehouse warning signs — read the findings below before touring.
- Staffed like a place that cares. Nurses spend 2.2× the national RN time with each resident, and staff turnover is below the U.S. average — the opposite of the churn you see in warehouse facilities.
- A sedation pattern. Antipsychotic use (26%) and sleep-medication use (33%) are BOTH far above national norms — the pattern associated with medicating residents instead of staffing for them.
- Physical restraint use is far above the national rate. 9.7% vs 1.1% nationally — ask for the facility's restraint policy in writing.
- $59,779 in federal fines. 3 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.
