What the pattern says
Palmelle pattern checks · v1Warehouse warning signs — read the findings below before touring.
- Staffed like a place that cares. Nurses spend 2.7× 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 (35%) and sleep-medication use (24%) are BOTH far above national norms — the pattern associated with medicating residents instead of staffing for them.
- CMS has placed an abuse icon on this facility. A substantiated finding of abuse, neglect, or exploitation is on the federal record.
These checks are computed the same way for every facility. Good patterns and bad ones both print.
