Inspection summary

Woodvan - Community Living has been inspected 7 times by Vancouver Coastal Health since April 26, 2022. The most recent inspection, on October 2, 2026, recorded 4 infractions.

None of the 7 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 6 infractions recorded. 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 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 8 times across 6 separate inspections, most recently on October 2, 2026. For example: For facilities with 24 or fewer persons in care the nutrition plan(s) is reviewed on a regular basis. [RCR Sec 83(3)(a)]

  • 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 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on October 2, 2026. For example: Rooms and common areas are well ventilated, in a good state of repair, safe and clean condition [RCR Sec 22(1)]

  • 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 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on October 2, 2026. For example: Persons in care have at all times immediate access to an employee who is certified in first aid and CPR, knowledgeable about their medical condition and able to communicate with emergency personnel [RCR Sec 43(1);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 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 9, 2024. 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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on October 2, 2026. For example: Emergency exits are not obstructed or secured in a manner that may hinder exit in an emergency [RCR Sec 22(2)]
