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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 5 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on December 15, 2025. For example: There is a medication administration record showing all medication administered, the date, amount and time the medication was administered to the persons' in care [RCR Sec 78(2)]

  • 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 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 16, 2025. For example: Prior to employment the licensee obtained the appropriate information regarding the staff person [RCR Sec 37(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 once on October 2, 2024. For example: A restraint used under section 74(1)(b) that continues either continuously or intermittently for more than 24 hours is reassessed within the specified time consulting with those who agreed to the use of the restraint [RCR Sec 75(3)]
