Commendable and Merit
 |
The Aged Care Standards and Accreditation Agency 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.aust.com |
Since May 2002, approved providers have been able to make submissions for higher ratings when applying for accreditation. There are two higher ratings awards, commendable and merit.
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.
Summary descriptions of successful applicants are published in this section. Each applicant will also have an accreditation report published under 'current reports', and you can link to that report from the list below.
Where available, a link to the applicant's own website is provided.
