Serious risk decision

On 19 March 2019 a delegate of the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commissioner made a decision in relation to Fred French Nursing Home that failure to meet one expected outcome in the Accreditation Standards placed the safety, health or wellbeing of a consumer of the service at serious risk.

An assessment contact was conducted by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission (Commission) on 2 May 2019 at Fred French Nursing Home to monitor the service’s progress against the Accreditation Standards. The Commission found the service complies with all Accreditation Standards.

Serious risk is not an ongoing state; it is a statutory decision based on evidence at a point in time.

Following an audit we decided that this home met 44 of the 44 expected outcomes of the Accreditation Standards and would be accredited for three years until 02 June 2021.
