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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 July 13, 2023. For example: The facility has a written a policy and procedure for obtaining consent, in accordance with Part 3 of the Health Care (Consent) and Care Facility (Admission) Act, before admitting an adult to the community care facility [RCR Sec 85(2)(m)]

  • 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 October 17, 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 once on May 21, 2021. 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)]
