What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for your health. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Equipment and utensilsLower risk

    Equipment has to be made of cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked surface or worn part. They are generally lower risk but show how well the place is maintained.

    Recorded 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on August 12, 2026. For example: Employees have been trained in the implementation of the plans and in the use of emergency equipment [RCR Sec 51(3)]

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 12, 2026. For example: The care plan(s) contains all items that must be recorded under this regulation [RCR Sec 81(3)]

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Many jurisdictions require a trained or certified person on site, such as a certified food handler. These findings mean the training record or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean anything was handled unsafely.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 12, 2026. For example: Employees who store, handle or administer medication to persons in care are 19 years of age or older, and have successfully completed the training program(s) established by the MSAC [RCR Sec 70(2)]

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    Floors, walls and ceilings must be clean and in good repair, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate health risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.

    Recorded 2 times on July 31, 2025. For example: Bathrooms have slip resistant material on the bottom of bathtub(s) and shower(s), [RCR Sec 30(b)]

  • Other findingsLower risk

    Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

    Recorded once on August 12, 2026. For example: Food is safely prepared, stored, served and handled. [RCR Sec 63(1)]
