What the pattern says

Palmelle pattern checks · v1

Reads like care — the pattern checks come back clean.

  • Staffed like a place that cares. Nurses spend 1.5× the national RN time with each resident — the opposite of the churn you see in warehouse facilities.
  • Clean accountability record. 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.
