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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 5 separate inspections, most recently on September 2, 2026. For example: Reportable incidents have been reported with appropriate notifications [RCR Sec 77(2)(a)(b)(d);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 once on August 27, 2025. For example: Expired medication is returned to the dispensing pharmacy as required [RCR Sec 72(b)]

  • 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 April 22, 2022. For example: Rooms and common areas are well ventilated, in a good state of repair, safe and clean condition [RCR Sec 22(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 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on December 19, 2024. For example: A restraint may be used if the restraint is necessary to protect the person in care or others from imminent serious physical harm, or there is agreement as per the regulation [RCR Sec 74 (1)]
