| Annotation | This paper reports findings from a study to investigate the impact of ageing-in-place policies on resident dependency levels and to explore the relationship between structural variables and outcome ratings. The study involved a time series data collection of high and low care places and accreditation ratings from both the first and the second accreditation cycles in Queensland (n= 482 and 499). Paired samples t-tests were also conducted on a sample of homes providing both high and low level care to assess changing dependency levels over the two time periods. A statistically significant increase was found in the proportion of residents classified as high care living in low care homes between the first and the second accreditation. The findings suggest that the ageing-in-place regulatory intervention achieved the intended policy goal and homes have effectively implemented staffing and quality control strategies to accommodate the changes.
