The working

Five parts, each scored out of 100 and weighted. 5 of 5 have published data for this home. Here's what feeds each one. In the measure bars, the filled bar is this home and the upright tick is the national average.

Quality measures

92 out of 100

Built from four clinical measures in the government's Star Ratings data. Each is scored against the full range of homes, from best to worst, rather than against the average, so a home can score fairly well here while some of its measures are worse than average.
