Inspection summary
Youville Residence - Long Term Care has been inspected 5 times by Vancouver Coastal Health since October 15, 2021. The most recent inspection, on February 10, 2026, recorded 4 infractions.
None of the 5 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 4 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 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 7 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on June 16, 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)]
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 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 16, 2025. For example:
Employees have been trained in the implementation of the plans and in the use of emergency equipment [RCR Sec 51(3)]
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 3 separate inspections, most recently on February 10, 2026. For example:
If a person in care is restrained, the information required by the regulation is recorded in the care plan of the person in care [RCR Sec 84]
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 once on February 10, 2026. For example:
Rooms and common areas are well ventilated, in a good state of repair, safe and clean condition [RCR Sec 22(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 10 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on February 10, 2026. 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)]
