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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 5 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on December 18, 2024. For example: Outbreak procedures established and in place (Recommendation: if no, have the operator contact the CD Team to help develop one)

  • 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 4 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on February 13, 2024. For example: Employees on duty are sufficient in numbers, training, experience, and organized in an appropriate pattern to meet the needs of the persons in care and assist in activities of daily living. [RCR Sec 42(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 3 separate inspections, most recently on December 18, 2024. For example: Spill kit contents readily available with instructions for the clean up of body fluid and blood (Recommendation).
