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.
Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk
Hand hygiene is the most important way to stop germs spreading between children, residents and staff. Inspectors check that sinks are stocked and easy to reach, that staff wash their hands when required (for example after diapering or before handling food), and that sick staff stay away from work.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 30, 2025. For example:
Are properly operating hand washing sink(s) available in suitable location(s), and properly stocked with handwashing supplies?
Equipment and utensilsLower risk
Equipment has to be made of cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked surface or worn part. They are generally lower risk but show how well the place is maintained.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 30, 2025. For example:
Is the facility and equipment being maintained in a suitable manner (Non-Critical)?
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 once on April 28, 2026. For example:
Is this facility properly constructed (Non-Critical)?
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 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on April 28, 2026. For example:
Are communicable diseases at this facility being properly managed?
