5 of 11 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 6 infractions recorded. All recorded findings relate to upkeep, equipment or paperwork rather than direct health risks.

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.

  • 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 6 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on June 5, 2025. For example: Home is maintained in a clean and sanitary condition

  • 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 16, 2025. For example: "Single Facility Incident Plan" is available at the facility, in a readily accessible location.

  • 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 once on June 5, 2026. For example: Operator has completed training to administer controlled substances prescribed on an "as needed"/PRN Basis (Section 40).

  • 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 7 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on June 5, 2026. For example: All employees whose duties involve the supervision of tenants participate in continuing education to a minimum of five hours within each consecutive six months and are familiar with the Guidelines (Section 15).
