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 238 target 231 +7 min
Registered nurse minutes 45 target 46 -1 min
