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. Good
Quality measures Quality measuresSeven clinical indicators the home reports each quarter — falls, pressure injuries, weight loss, restrictive practices and medication use. Improvement needed

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 229 target 229 +0 min
Registered nurse minutes 55 target 46 +9 min

What residents said

An independent surveyor interviewed residents here face to face in 2026. These are the shares who answered "always" or "most of the time" — 73% across all 12 questions.

Staff treat me with respect 80%
I feel safe here 74%
Staff are kind and caring 80%
I get the care I need 93%
Staff know what they are doing 80%
Staff follow up when I raise things 67%

I am encouraged to do things for myself 80%
This place is well run 80%
This place feels like home 60%
I like the food here 33%

The lowest-scoring answer is marked, because it is usually the one worth asking about on a visit.

Clinical quality measures
