What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for the people in care. Higher-risk findings are the ones that could directly make someone sick, and they matter more here because young children, older adults and people who are unwell are more vulnerable to infection.

  • 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 once on October 4, 2022. For example: Persons in care are permitted to keep furniture, ornaments or other personal belongings in their room. [RCR Sec 29(2); Bill of Rights 2(f)]

  • 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 once on February 24, 2022. For example: Prior to employment the licensee obtained the appropriate information regarding the staff person [RCR Sec 37(1)]

  • 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 7 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on January 5, 2024. For example: A qualified employee is designated to organize and supervise physical, social and recreational activities and has sufficient time to carry out activities [RCR Sec (45)(a)(b)]
