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.

• Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

  Surfaces, dishes and tools that touch food or people must be cleaned and then sanitized or disinfected. Inspectors check sanitizer strength, dishwasher temperatures and how cleaning is done. Poor sanitizing lets germs survive from one use to the next.

  Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 21, 2026. For example: Equipment, utensils, multi-service articles and all food contact surfaces must be properly constructed and maintained.

• Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

  This covers how food and supplies are stored and handled: kept covered, off the floor, and away from anything that could contaminate them. Where food is served, raw meat must be kept away from ready-to-eat food, a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

  Recorded once on May 21, 2026. For example: Furniture, equipment and appliances in food handling and storage rooms arranged and constructed in a clean and sanitary manner.

• 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 November 5, 2025. For example: Internal temperature of potentially hazardous food maintained at 4° Celsius or lower.
