Compliance monitoring update

An assessment contact was conducted by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission (Commission) on 05 February 2020 at Jimbelunga Nursing Centre, EAGLEBY to monitor the service’s progress in meeting the Accreditation Standards. The Commission found the service complies with all Accreditation Standards.

 

Following a site audit the Commission made a decision on 12 November 2019 that this service met seven of the eight Aged Care Quality Standards. The service is re-accredited for one year until 09 December 2020.

Following an audit we decided that this home met 44 of the 44 expected outcomes of the Accreditation Standards and would be accredited for one year until 09 December 2019.

Following an audit we decided that this home met 38 of the 44 expected outcomes of the Accreditation Standards. This home remains accredited until 09 December 2018.

Serious risk decision

Following a review audit conducted 28 May 2018 to 7 June 2018, a delegate of the CEO of the Quality Agency made a decision that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Health Service Brisbane Limited failed to meet six expected outcomes in the Accreditation Standards in relation to Jimbelunga Nursing Centre.

On 21 June 2018 a decision was made that the failure to meet two of these expected outcomes has placed the safety, health or wellbeing of care recipients of the service at serious risk. The Department of Health has been notified of the risk.

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

The Quality Agency will continue to monitor the performance of the service including through unannounced visits.

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 09 December 2018.
