Serious risk decision

Following an assessment contact conducted on 16 January 2019, a delegate of the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commissioner made a decision that Fresh Fields Aged Care (NSW) - NO 1 Pty Ltd failed to meet five expected outcomes in the Accreditation Standards in relation to Sirius Cove Nursing Home.

On 20 February 2019 a decision was made that failure to meet one of these expected outcomes has placed the safety, health or wellbeing of a care recipient 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 Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission 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 19 January 2021.
