Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.

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.

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food and supplies are stored and handled: kept covered, off the floor, and away from anything that could contaminate them. Where food is served, raw meat must be kept away from ready-to-eat food, a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded once on December 8, 2025. For example: Are clients at this facility being protected from hazards (Critical)?

  • 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 2 separate inspections, most recently on December 8, 2025. For example: Is this facility properly constructed (Non-Critical)?

  • 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 December 8, 2025. For example: Is the facility and equipment being maintained in a suitable manner (Non-Critical)?

  • 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 December 8, 2025. For example: Are there adequate storage areas sufficient for the operation of the facility?

  3. Monitoring Inspection

    2 infractions

    • 17. Is the facility and equipment being maintained in a suitable manner (Critical)?
      • When asked to explain toy sanitizing procedures, staff indicated that after cleaning, the toys are sanitized using a spray bottle. Many of the toys (e.g. plastic horse) has several bends and curves, making it difficult to verify if toys are properly sanitized. Additionally, staff create a pile the toys in the sink and spray them down, creating additional complications whether the sanitizer will reach all parts of the toy.The Inspector directed the operators to switch to submersing toys in a sanitizer solution for 2 minutes. This will allow a more consistent method to ensure all parts of a toy get sanitized and will be more time efficient.This concern is considered corrected during the inspection, unless demonstrated otherwise.
    • 22. Is the plumbing system adequate and being properly maintained (Non-Critical)?
      • In the washroom between rooms JK1B & C, the centre tap's maximum temperature at the tap spiked from 33.6C to 53.6C for approximately 20 seconds; this concern occurred twice while testing.There may be an issue with the mixing valve improperly distributing water.REQUIREMENT: Investigate and determine the cause of the temperature spikes. Make any necessary repairs to stabilize the temperature.
