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 March 11, 2026. For example: Are clients at this facility being protected from hazards (Non-Critical)?

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hand hygiene is the most important way to stop germs spreading between children, residents and staff. Inspectors check that sinks are stocked and easy to reach, that staff wash their hands when required (for example after diapering or before handling food), and that sick staff stay away from work.

    Recorded once on March 11, 2026. For example: Are properly operating hand washing sink(s) available in suitable location(s), and properly stocked with handwashing supplies?

  • 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on March 20, 2025. For example: Is the facility and equipment being maintained in a suitable manner (Non-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 once on March 11, 2026. For example: Is the plumbing system adequate and being properly maintained (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 March 11, 2026. For example: Are sleeping supplies and areas sufficient to ensure client safety and comfort (Non-Critical)?

  4. Monitoring Inspection

    1 infraction

    • 18. Is the facility and equipment being maintained in a suitable manner (Non-Critical)?
      • *Observed that few ceiling tiles in the gummy bear room appear to have water staining. - Please have the source of the water repaired, and the ceiling tiles replaced.

      • *Observed the play equipment that was being used when child became injured. Structure is located on gymnastics mats. Structure is about 31inches in height off the ground, with the barrier being about 13.25 inches from the platform. Slide portion is fairly steep and doesn't put an individual into a seated position at the end of the slide. Recommend removing the slide in question which would also allow more space around equipment in the area. Children were observed to be using the slide inappropriately, which supervision was able to correct at the time. Would recommend that staff discuss with the children prior to entering the gym on appropriate use of equipment and would suggest removing some of the equipment to create more space for each piece and looking to upgrade some equipment that help re-enforce how equipment is to be used.

Have the walls addressed so that the area is impervious to moisture and easily cleanable.*Observed that caulking is missing between countertop and walls/ bookshelves. Have the caulking done to help prevent water damage to the surrounding area and avoid collection of debris.
