What the pattern says

Palmelle pattern checks · v1

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

  • Antipsychotic use runs high. 27% of long-stay residents are on antipsychotics against a 14% national median — ask what share have a qualifying diagnosis.
  • 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.
