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.

• 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 March 17, 2026. For example: A short term care plan is developed on admission to guide staff in protecting and promoting the health and safety of the person in care [RCR Sec 80(1)]

• 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 June 19, 2024. For example: Rooms and common areas are well ventilated, in a good state of repair, safe and clean condition [RCR Sec 22(1)]

• 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 March 17, 2026. For example: Sufficient materials, supplies and equipment for the program of activities are readily accessible and safe, and provided without charge [RCR Sec 55(3)]

• 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 19, 2024. For example: Community Care Facilities Licensing has been immediately notified of any changes in the information provided under section 7 [RCR Sec 8(1)]

• 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 March 17, 2026. For example: Except as necessary for cleaning and maintenance lounges and recreation area are accessible at all times [RCR Sec 34(3)]
