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.

• 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on January 29, 2024. For example: First aid supplies are readily accessible to all employees, including while care is provided off the facility premises [RCR Sec 43(2);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 July 23, 2025. For example: Expired medication is returned to the dispensing pharmacy as required [RCR Sec 72(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 December 16, 2021. For example: Persons in care are advised of the right to contact emergency services or the Helpline for Children and are provided with the contact information [RCR Sec 24.1(1)(2)(a)(b)]
