Overall Star Rating

Ranked 108 of 152 in Southern Metro

The five ratings

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

Overall Acceptable
Residents’ experience Good
Compliance Good
Staffing Improvement needed
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 204 target 219 -15 min
Registered nurse minutes 44 target 44 +0 min
