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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 28, 2025. For example:
Are clients at this facility being protected from hazards (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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on April 7, 2026. For example:

- 1) In the baby (12-18 month) room, toys were observed that were small enough or had parts small enough to pose a potential choking hazard, e.g. small wooden starfish and small "hot wheels" style car which is likely intended for children 3+ years due to the potential for things like wheels to break off and become an ingestion hazard. These toys were removed but please ensure all other small toys or toys not intended for this age group are also removed from this room.2) The baby room also contained a large plant in a black planter which was set on plastic box made of interlocking blocks. When a small amount of pressure was applied to the planter by the PHI, it wobbled. Please secure this plant either in a corner or with some sort of restraint to prevent it from potentially falling on a child if it is accidently bumped by someone else.Please also ensure this plant is non-toxic/does not pose an ingestion hazard otherwise it must be put completely out of reach of the children.

What is apparently a 'Monstera" plant was observed in the 2/3 year old room and was at a height that small children may be able to reach it.According to the internet, Monstera plants can be toxic to humans so please ensure all plants are kept on shelves well out of children's reach.2. The use of flour for making playdough and other items was discussed during the inspection. As raw flour has been implicated in outbreaks in the past, please look to stop using it in crafts/play items to prevent accidental ingestion and possible illness.
