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.

  • 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 7 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on July 6, 2026. For example: Care plan(s) is reviewed and, if necessary, modified if there is a substantial change in the circumstances of the person in care or at least once a year [RCR Sec 81(4)(b)]

  • 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on December 23, 2025. For example: Rooms and common areas are well ventilated, in a good state of repair, safe and clean condition [RCR Sec 22(1)]

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on July 6, 2026. For example: All rooms and common areas, emergency exits, equipment, and monitoring and signalling devices are inspected and maintained on a regular basis [RCR Sec 22(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 once on December 3, 2024. For example: If a person in care is restrained, the information required by the regulation is recorded in the care plan of the person in care [RCR Sec 84]

  • 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 July 6, 2026. For example: The facility responded in writing to all recommendations brought forward by the council from their meetings, including providing a rationale for any decision to reject a recommendation [RCR 59.1(2)(c); Bill of Rights 3(b)]
