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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 6 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on August 27, 2025. For example: Weekly menu posted in each dining area for Long Term Care. [RCR Sec 62(4)]

  • 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 September 15, 2026. 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]

  • 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 August 27, 2025. For example: Bathrooms have slip resistant material on the bottom of bathtub(s) and shower(s), [RCR Sec 30(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 4 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 15, 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)]
