Higher Ratings
The Aged Care Standards and Accreditation Agency Ltd has published a Better Practice in Aged Care book that highlights the achievements of six commendable homes and 29 merit homes (awarded up to December 2003). For a free copy of the book, phone (02) 8831 1024 or email national@accreditation.org.au.
The Higher Ratings Awards, which commenced in 2002, have been modified and will be known as the Better Practice in Aged Care Awards. However, applications for Higher Ratings Awards will continue to be accepted until 31 October 2005.
Approved providers of aged care homes may submit an application for a higher ratings award when applying for accreditation. There are two higher ratings awards:
Commendable - recognises homes that are truly exceptional. They will have mature continuous improvement systems and can demonstrate the delivery of exceptional results for residents, beyond those necessary to achieve merit.
Merit - recognises homes that have delivered consistently across the whole of the service, with mature continuous improvement systems and with evidence of superior results in some areas for residents, beyond those necessary to achieve accreditation.
The approved provider makes a submission for a higher ratings award at the same time as applying for accreditation. The approved provider must provide sufficient written information and evidence to support the claims in the submission, in order for that submission to be deemed valid by the Agency.
