Overall Star Rating

Ranked 26 of 51 in Hume

The five ratings

Four measures combine into the overall rating. Residents' experience is worth a third of it.

Overall Good
Residents’ experience Acceptable
Compliance Excellent
Staffing Good
Quality measures Excellent

Worth knowing: no home in Australia holds an overall rating below 3 stars, and 69% sit on exactly 4 — so the overall star is a weak way to tell homes apart. The individual measures above, and the numbers below, do the real work.

Staffing

Every home has a mandated minimum of care minutes per resident per day. This is what it actually delivered.

Total care minutes per day 242 target 235 +7 min
Registered nurse minutes 105 target 46 +59 min
