Inspection summary

Sunrise at Lonsdale Square - Long Term Care has been inspected 5 times by Vancouver Coastal Health since August 29, 2024. The most recent inspection, on March 26, 2026, recorded 3 infractions.

None of the 5 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 7 infractions recorded. All recorded findings relate to upkeep, equipment or paperwork rather than direct health risks.

Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.

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.

  • 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 7 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on March 26, 2026. For example: Self-administration of medication has been approved by the MSAC and the practitioner who ordered the medication, and is included in the care plan [RCR Sec 70(4)]

  • 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 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on November 13, 2025. For example: If needed, ongoing room tray service is available if indicated in the care plan [RCR Sec 63(3)(c)(i)(ii)]

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on November 13, 2025. For example: If a person in care is restrained, the information required by the regulation is recorded in the care plan of the person in care [RCR Sec 84]

  • 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 July 16, 2025. For example: Expired medication is returned to the dispensing pharmacy as required [RCR Sec 72(b)]

  • 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 12 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on March 26, 2026. For example: A restraint may be used if the restraint is necessary to protect the person in care or others from imminent serious physical harm, or there is agreement as per the regulation [RCR Sec 74 (1)]
