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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 3 separate inspections, most recently on December 1, 2025. For example: There is an emergency plan displayed in a prominent place that sets out procedures to prepare for, mitigate, respond to and recover from any emergency, including procedures for evacuation and how persons in care will be cared for [RCR Sec 51(1),(4)]

  • 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 8 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on December 1, 2025. For example: The rights of adult persons in care are prominently displayed in the facility [CCALA Sec 7 c.1(i)]
