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.
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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 7 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on October 25, 2023. For example:
There is an emergency plan displayed in a prominent place that sets out procedures to prepare for, mitigate, respond to and recover from any emergency, including procedures for evacuation and how persons in care will be cared for [RCR Sec 51(1),(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 June 1, 2021. 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]
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 June 1, 2021. 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 8 times across 6 separate inspections, most recently on October 25, 2023. For example:
A restraint may be used if the restraint is necessary to protect the person in care or others from imminent serious physical harm, or there is agreement as per the regulation [RCR Sec 74 (1)]
