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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on October 7, 2026. For example:
Furniture, equipment and appliances in food handling and storage rooms arranged and constructed in a clean and sanitary manner.
Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk
Surfaces, dishes and tools that touch food or people must be cleaned and then sanitized or disinfected. Inspectors check sanitizer strength, dishwasher temperatures and how cleaning is done. Poor sanitizing lets germs survive from one use to the next.
Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on October 7, 2026. For example:
Equipment, utensils, multi-service articles and all food contact surfaces must be properly constructed and maintained.
Food temperature controlHigher risk
Inspectors check that anything that has to be kept at a set temperature, such as chilled or hot food, or equipment like sterilizers, stays in its safe range and that accurate thermometers are on hand. With food, temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 9, 2026. For example:
Internal temperature of potentially hazardous food maintained at 4° Celsius or lower.
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 across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 9, 2026. For example:
Operator practiced safe food handling to ensure food is safe to eat.
