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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 once on November 10, 2023. For example: Accurate records are kept for accidental exposures

  • 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 May 9, 2024. For example: Intermediate and low-level disinfectants are accompanied by a drug identification number (DIN) or natural product number (NPN) assigned by Health Canada, excluding sodium hypochlorite

    • Intermediate and low-level disinfectants are accompanied by a drug identification number (DIN) or natural product number (NPN) assigned by Health Canada, excluding sodium hypochlorite
    • Non-critical hairdressing items cleaned and disinfected appropriately
      • Non-critical items that only contact hair and not skin require cleaning with soap or detergent and a brush under running water between uses.
      • All items must be cleaned and dried with a clean towel before they can be placed in a disinfectant solution. Placing a soiled item in a disinfectant solution contaminated the entire solution and therefore contaminates all the items placed in it.
      • To achieve appropriate disinfection, items require full immersion in the solution for the appropriate contact time instructed by the manufacturer.
