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.
Food temperature controlHigher risk
Inspectors check that anything that has to be kept at a set temperature, such as chilled or hot food, or equipment like sterilizers, stays in its safe range and that accurate thermometers are on hand. With food, temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 16, 2026. For example:
Sanitize test kit / thermometer is readily available for verifying dishwashing and sanitizing temperatures.
Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk
Cleaning products, disinfectants and pesticides must be labelled and stored safely, away from food and from surfaces people touch. Inspectors flag chemicals that could contaminate food or harm people, as well as pest treatments applied without proper supervision.
Recorded once on May 15, 2026. For example:
Food contact surfaces properly designed, constructed, installed, maintained, and located (smooth, non-absorbent, cleanable, corrosion resistant, non-toxic and free from contamination).
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 7 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on January 14, 2026. For example:
Floors are clean and in good repair.
