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 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 once on May 17, 2022. For example: Water accessible to a person in care, from any source, is not to exceed 49° Celsius [RCR Sec 17]

  • 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 5 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 23, 2023. For example: The most recent routine inspection record is displayed in a prominent place. [RCR Sec. 11(1) (b), (2); Bill of Rights 4(b)]

  • 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 4 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 18, 2025. For example: First aid supplies are readily accessible to all employees, including while care is provided off the facility premises [RCR Sec 43(2);DOLSOP Preventing Opioid Overdose]

  • 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 September 18, 2025. For example: Persons in care have at all times immediate access to an employee who is certified in first aid and CPR, knowledgeable about their medical condition and able to communicate with emergency personnel [RCR Sec 43(1);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 4 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 17, 2024. For example: Appropriate sinks are available
