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.

  • PestsHigher risk

    Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food, supplies and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

    Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on April 16, 2026. For example: Are proper measures being taken to ensure that vermin do not enter or exist in the facility (Non-Critical)?

  • 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 3 separate inspections, most recently on September 13, 2024. For example: Are clients at this facility being protected from hazards (Non-Critical)?

  • 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 11 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on March 20, 2026. For example: Is the facility and equipment being maintained in a suitable manner (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 10 times across 9 separate inspections, most recently on July 30, 2026. For example: Are parent provided foods being properly handled and stored to ensure the safety of clients in this social care facility?
