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.

• 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 April 24, 2023. For example: Medications remain in the original labelled container or package provided by the dispensing pharmacy until administered [RCR Sec 69(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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 4 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on February 17, 2022. For example: The facility has a written policy and procedure for obtaining consent, in accordance with Part 3 of the Health Care (Consent) and Care Facility (Admission) Act, before admitting an adult to the community care facility. [RCR Sec 85(2)(m)]

• 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 2 times on April 24, 2023. For example: Medication is returned to the dispensing pharmacy if the person in care is no longer taking the medication(s)[RCR Sec 72(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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on April 24, 2023. For example: Bathrooms have slip resistant material on the bottom of bathtub(s) and shower(s), [RCR Sec 30(b)]

• 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 once on February 17, 2022. For example: The facility keeps a record for each person in care with the information specified by the regulation [RCR Sec 78(1)]
