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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 8 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on February 18, 2026. 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)]

  • 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 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 5, 2022. For example: The MSAC establishes and reviews training, orientation programs, and policies and procedures [RCR Sec 68(3);DOLSOP Preventing Opioid Overdose]

  • 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 5 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on February 18, 2026. For example: Breakfast is available before 11:00 am lunch is between 11:45 am and 1:00 pm, and supper is served after 5:00 pm. [RCR Sec 64 (1)(a),(b),(c)]
