The Palmelle ReadUpdated 26 Sep 2026

What the pattern says

Palmelle pattern checks · v1

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

  • Staffed like a place that cares. Nurses spend 2.2× the national RN time with each resident, and staff turnover is half the U.S. average — the opposite of the churn you see in warehouse facilities.
  • $93,919 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.
