What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for your health. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

• 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 once on May 14, 2026. For example: There are secure, safe and adequate storage areas for cleaning agents, chemical products and other hazardous materials [RCR Sec 35(1)(c)]

• 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 6 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on May 14, 2026. For example: Bedroom(s), bathroom(s) and common room(s) are lit sufficiently [RCR Sec 16(2)]

• 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on May 14, 2025. For example: Self-administration of medication has been approved by the MSAC and the practitioner who ordered the medication, and is included in the care plan [RCR Sec 70(4)]

• 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 once on May 14, 2026. For example: Furniture and equipment meets the needs, of the persons in care, are compatible with the health safety and dignity, are well maintained, and clean. [RCR Sec 21]

• 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 once on May 14, 2026. For example: Medications are handled and administered appropriately [RCR Sec 70(3)]
