Inspection summary
Willingdon Creek Village - Long Term Care has been inspected 5 times by Vancouver Coastal Health since September 21, 2021. The most recent inspection, on July 23, 2025, recorded 4 infractions.
None of the 5 inspections on record were free of infractions. No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. All recorded findings relate to upkeep, equipment or paperwork rather than direct health risks.
Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.
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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 4 separate inspections, most recently on July 23, 2025. For example:
For each person in care, there is a record showing the date of admission, and the consent to be admitted or to continue to be accommodated. [RCR Sec 77.1(1)(a)(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 August 15, 2023. 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 11 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on July 23, 2025. For example:
All persons admitted comply with the Province's immunization and TB control programs[RCR Sec 49(1); DOLSOP Immunization]
