How within 20 km of Oaklands Junction score on each measure
An overall rating is built from four separate measures. Averages for the homes in reach, next to the national average, so you can see where this area is genuinely strong and where to ask harder questions.
| Measure | Within 20 km | National | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Residents' experience | 3.48 | 3.63 | how residents themselves rated life in the home, collected in face-to-face interviews. It is the closest thing to asking the people who live there. |
| Compliance | 4.91 | 4.82 | whether the home has met its regulatory obligations. Almost every home scores well here, so a low score is a genuine warning sign rather than a small ding. |
| Staffing | 3.23 | 3.25 | how much registered nurse and total care time each resident actually receives against the government's targets. |
| Quality measures | 3.05 | 3.04 | clinical outcomes the home reports, such as pressure injuries, falls, medication management and unplanned weight loss. |
