Myrtle Bank, South Australia

SOUTHERN CROSS CARE (SA, NT & VIC) INCORPORATED · Small home · Not for Profit

Overall Star Rating

Ranked 37 of 37 in Metropolitan East

The five ratings

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

Overall Acceptable
Residents’ experience Improvement needed
Compliance Excellent
Staffing Acceptable
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 215 target 211 +4 min
Registered nurse minutes 44 target 43 +1 min
