Overall Star Rating

Ranked 47 of 58 in Grampians

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 Excellent

Quality measures Acceptable

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 260 target 226 +34 min

Registered nurse minutes 69 target 45 +24 min
