Overall Star Rating

Ranked 5 of 49 in Inner West

The five ratings

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

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

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 227 target 213 +14 min
Registered nurse minutes 50 target 43 +7 min
