Inspection summary

Together We Can - Arise - Substance Use has been inspected 3 times by Vancouver Coastal Health since March 1, 2024. The most recent inspection, on May 15, 2026, recorded 7 infractions.

None of the 3 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 10 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.

  • 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 8 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on May 15, 2026. For example: There is an emergency plan displayed in a prominent place that sets out procedures to prepare for, mitigate, respond to and recover from any emergency, including procedures for evacuation and how persons in care will be cared for [RCR Sec 51(1),(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 May 15, 2026. For example: First aid supplies are readily accessible to all employees, including while care is provided off the facility premises [RCR Sec 43(2);DOLSOP Preventing Opioid Overdose]

  • 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on May 15, 2026. For example: Furniture and equipment meets the needs, of the persons in care, are compatible with the health safety and dignity, are well maintained, and clean. [RCR Sec 21]

  • 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 May 15, 2026. For example: Employees have experience, competence and training to ensure food is safely prepared, handled and meets the nutritional needs [RCR Sec (44)(1)(a)]

  • 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 2 times on March 1, 2024. For example: Prior to and or on admission persons in care are informed on how to express concerns or make complaints to the medical health officer or the Patient Care Quality Office [RCR Sec 48(1) (c); Bill of Rights 3(e)]
