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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on March 10, 2026. For example: Bed linen laundered weekly and stored in sanitary manner

  • Food source, labelling and allergensHigher risk

    Food and other products must come from approved sources, stay in labelled containers and be thrown out when spoiled, expired or damaged. Labelling also matters for allergies: an unlabelled container can hide an allergen.

    Recorded once on March 10, 2026. For example: Absorbent materials laundered/cleaned and disinfected/discarded weekly (e.g. slip covers, dress-up clothes, plush toys, puzzles, cardboard)

  • 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 March 10, 2026. For example: Toilets, potty seats/chairs, and handwashing sinks cleaned and disinfected daily and more often as required

  • 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 March 10, 2026. For example: Toys, teaching materials, surfaces, equipment, and/or furniture maintained clean and in good repair

  • 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 March 10, 2026. For example: Diaper change procedures/toileting routine practiced as per Durham Region Health Department recommendations
