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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 June 21, 2023. For example: Care plans take into account the persons in care's unique abilities, physical, social and emotional needs, and cultural and spiritual preferences [RCR Sec 81(2)(b); Bill of Rights 1(b)]

  • 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 June 21, 2023. For example: Expired medication is returned to the dispensing pharmacy as required [RCR Sec 72(b)]

  • 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 March 18, 2022. For example: Employees on duty are sufficient in numbers, training, experience, and organized in an appropriate pattern to meet the needs of the persons in care and assist in activities of daily living. [RCR Sec 42(1);DOLSOP Opioid Overdose Prevention]

  • 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 5 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 21, 2023. For example: All persons admitted comply with the Province's immunization and TB control programs[RCR Sec 49(1); DOLSOP Immunization]
