The five ratings

Four measures make up the overall rating. The i beside each one explains what it covers.

Overall OverallOne rating combining the four below. Residents’ experience counts for about a third, compliance a little under a third, then staffing and quality measures. Good
Residents’ experience Residents’ experienceFrom face-to-face interviews with a sample of residents, who answer twelve questions about daily life in the home. Acceptable
Compliance ComplianceSet by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission from regulatory decisions and audit findings, and updated as things change. A 1 or 2 here caps the overall rating at that level. Excellent
Staffing StaffingCompares the care minutes per resident per day the home delivered against the target set for that home, including registered nurse minutes. Acceptable
Quality measures Quality measuresSeven clinical indicators the home reports each quarter — falls, pressure injuries, weight loss, restrictive practices and medication use. Acceptable

Why the ratings are broken out

Most homes land in much the same place on the overall star: 69% hold four, and none holds fewer than three. The four measures above, and the detail below, are where homes actually differ from one another.

Staffing

Every home has a target for care minutes per resident per day, set for that home. This is what it reported delivering.

Total care minutes per day 219 target 210 +9 min
Registered nurse minutes 46 target 43 +3 min
