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.

  • 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 25, 2015. For example: Are acceptable hygiene practices maintained?

  • 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 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 23, 2022. For example: 1 - Is the facility safe, sanitary, free from hazards, in good repair, and appropriate for the age and development of children?

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded once on February 3, 2015. For example: 1 - Are written policies and procedures in place to guide employees in all matters regarding the care and supervision of children?

  • 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 2 times on October 10, 2017. For example: 2 - Are persons qualified and appropriately replaced?

    • Is the facility safe, sanitary, free from hazards, in good repair, and appropriate for the age and development of children?
      • Observation(s): In the infant room the following was found and corrected during the inspection: Storage of scissors and cling wrap must be out of reach of children. The cling wrap was accessible to children in a low cupboard. A rocking chair was found to have fabric that had come loose and could be pulled off in small chunks by infants and/or toddlers and become a choke hazard. In the 3-5 room the following was found and corrected during the inspection: Outlet safety cover was not in place. The door to the large kitchen was propped open making the area easily accessible to children. Bleach and other cleaners/soaps were found stored under the sink in an accessible cupboard. There is a dryer accessible to children with the door open giving children the possibility to climb into it. During the inspection the manager put a safety knob on the door, closed it and posted a sign reminding staff to keep door shut at all times. In the toddler room the following was found and corrected during the inspection: A package of Halls cough drops were in a drawer that is accessible to children. The school age fire exit had nails protruding from the ramp. This was resolved during the inspection. Two play kitchens have hinges that are becoming loose - this was brought to the attention of the manager to keep a close eye on them so they do not become a hazard. There are two child sized chairs that are very soiled. This does not appear to be a health risk to the children at this time but was pointed out to the manager. The manager thought they may be able to launder them.
