Serious risk decision
Following an assessment contact conducted on 27 – 29 August 2019 and a review audit conducted on 15 to 22 October 2019, a delegate of the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commissioner made a finding that Columbia Nursing Home Pty Ltd failed to meet three Aged Care Quality Standards (Quality Standards) in relation to Columbia Aged Care Services - Oberon.
On 15 November 2019 a decision was made that failure to meet three Quality Standards has placed the safety, health or well-being of aged care consumers 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.
