Comments

The Licensing Officer (LO) would like to thank the Manager and the staff for their time and assistance in completing this routine inspection. It was noted that facility has systems in place to monitor provision of care and audit processes. An office chair for staff use in the tub room was noted to be worn out and the leather-like coating was removed and peeling off on the base and the inside back making it difficult to ensure appropriate sanitizing between use. The manager was in the process to replace this chair.

The facility nurse was on site during first hour of the inspection and supervised staff food safe recertification/retraining proceeded as scheduled during the inspection. Renovation work to the fence and retaining wall on the site was observed by Licensing Officer.

This report was reviewed and discussed with manager. A copy of this report was left at the facility.
