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 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 24, 2024. For example: All food is stored and handled in a manner that is protected from contamination and adulteration. [s.26, 31]

• 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 24, 2024. For example: Chemical(s) used appropriately (concentration, contact time, tasks, etc..). [s.19]

• 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 August 17, 2023. For example: A sufficient number of handwash stations are present, each has all required supplies, are not used for any other purpose, and are not blocked/rendered inaccessible. [s. 7(3)(a)(c), (4)]
