How ratings work

A score out of 5 comes from three checks. Payment never changes a rating or a search position.

Family reviews · 40%

Only from a family who visited or whose relative lives there. Newer reviews count more, over 24 months.

Our visit · 40%

A trained visitor spends half a day on staffing, safety, food, access and how residents seem.

Licence and records · 20%

State registration, fire safety, training records and insurance, checked every year.

A score appears only after a completed visit and at least 3 verified reviews. Until then the home shows as New.

4.5 to 5.0 Excellent. 4.0 to 4.4 Very good. 3.5 to 3.9 Good. Below 3.5 Needs improvement.
