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.

• Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

  Hands are one of the main ways germs spread, from person to person and onto food and surfaces. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing their hands when required, and sick staff being kept away from work where it matters. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

  Recorded once on March 24, 2021. For example: There is a program to instruct, if necessary, and assist persons in care in maintaining health and hygiene [RCR Sec 54(1)]

• 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 February 20, 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); Bill of Rights 1(a)]

• 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 February 20, 2026. For example: All rooms and common areas, emergency exits, equipment, and monitoring and signalling devices are inspected and maintained on a regular basis [RCR Sec 22(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 December 21, 2022. For example: Prior to employment the licensee obtained the appropriate information regarding the employee [RCR Sec 37(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 once on March 24, 2021. For example: Rooms and common areas are well ventilated, in a good state of repair, safe and clean condition [RCR Sec 22(1)]
