Inspection summary

May's Place Hospice - Hospice has been inspected 4 times by Vancouver Coastal Health since October 23, 2023. The most recent inspection, on February 9, 2026, recorded 3 infractions.

None of the 4 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 3 infractions recorded. All recorded findings relate to upkeep, equipment or paperwork rather than direct health risks.

Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.

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.

  • 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 9 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on February 9, 2026. For example: Employee files contain the records required by this regulation [RCR Sec 86]

  • 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on February 9, 2026. For example: Employees have been trained in the implementation of the plans and in the use of emergency equipment [RCR Sec 51(3)]

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Many jurisdictions require a trained or certified person on site, such as a certified food handler. These findings mean the training record or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean anything was handled unsafely.

    Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on February 9, 2026. For example: Employees have experience, competence and training to ensure food is safely prepared, handled and meets the nutritional needs [RCR Sec (44)(1)(a)]

  • 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 January 14, 2025. For example: Rooms and common areas are well ventilated, in a good state of repair, safe and clean condition [RCR Sec 22(1)]

  • 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 7 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on January 14, 2025. For example: The rights of adult persons in care are prominently displayed in the facility [CCALA Sec 7 c.1(i)]
