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 November 26, 2025. For example: Handwashing sinks adequately equipped and maintained in sanitary manner

• 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 once on November 26, 2025. For example: Toys, teaching materials, surfaces, equipment, and/or furniture maintained clean and in good repair

• 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 once on November 26, 2025. For example: Ensure all policies and procedures are up to date and available on site

• 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 once on November 26, 2025. For example: Blood and/or body fluid spills are cleaned and disinfected according to Durham Region Health Department recommendations
