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 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on January 12, 2026. For example: Food handled in manner that makes food safe to eat (defrosting, processing, reheating, cooling and cooking)

• 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 11, 2026. For example: Handwashing stations are adequately equipped and accessible

• 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 September 11, 2026. For example: Equipment, non-food contact surfaces are maintained, designed, constructed, maintained and accessible for cleaning

• 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 November 10, 2025. For example: Adjust or repair malfunctioning cooler
