Nursing homes run by private, for-profit providers are the worst performing in the country while aged care facilities with fewer than 30 beds run by state governments are the best quality, world-first research released by the royal commission has shown.
The Aged Care Quality and Safety Royal Commission today released a study it commissioned from the University of Queensland which analysed complaints, quality care indicators, compliance breaches and the prescription of high-risk medicines such as antipsychotics and opioids for every residential aged care facility in the country.
