The five ratings

Overall Acceptable
Residents’ experience Acceptable
Compliance Excellent
Staffing Improvement needed
Quality measures Improvement needed

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 210 target 212 -2 min
Registered nurse minutes 44 target 43 +1 min
