My Aged Care Overall Star Rating

We are very proud to announced that we have an Overall Star Rating of 4 out of 5! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
 
The Australian Government assesses the quality of care at all government-funded aged care homes. Based on these assessments, each home receives a Star Rating as a simple way of showing information about the quality of care they provide and how they compare to others.
Star Ratings were introduced in December 2022. Aged care homes receive a rating between 1 and 5 stars to indicate the quality of care across 4 key areas of performance. Outcomes in these 4 subcategories inform an overall Star Rating – Compliance, Quality Measures, Residents’ Experience, and Staffing.
 
We are incredibly proud of everything we have achieved at The Willochra Home to make it the great HOME that it is today! ⭐😊⭐😊⭐😊
