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 once on April 19, 2024. For example: Are properly operating hand washing sink(s) available in suitable location(s), and properly stocked with handwashing supplies?

  • 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 15, 2024. 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on April 19, 2024. For example: Are sleeping supplies and areas sufficient to ensure client safety and comfort (Critical)?

    • 09. Are properly operating hand washing sink(s) available in suitable location(s), and properly stocked with handwashing supplies?
      • Handwashing sinks are not equipped with paper towel in suitable dispensers. A paper towel stand is considered an adequate dispenser.
    • 23. Are sleeping supplies and areas sufficient to ensure client safety and comfort (Critical)?
      • As facility was no longer using plastic bags, it was found that the mattresses themselves were not made of a moisture material and were not impervious to moisture. Since mattresses themselves cannot be cleaned and disinfected by putting through the laundry, these must be switched out or upholstered with a moisture resistant material such as vinyl.
  6. Risk Management Inspection

    2 infractions

    • 08. Is this facility properly constructed (Non-Critical)?
      • The counter under and around the sink in the main floor classroom is water damaged. Replace the damaged materials.
    • 24. Are sleeping supplies and areas sufficient to ensure client safety and comfort (Non-Critical)?
      • Plastic bags that are used for storing childrens' bedding and mats are only changed as necessary and are not able to be cleaned and disinfected/laundered. Clean bedding is therefore being stored back into a soiled/used bag until the bag is damaged and replaced. Change the bags weekly, or discard the bag system completely by storing bedding in cubbies/bins, and disinfecting mats after each nap time.
