The Fridge freezer was measured at 13.5 degrees Celsius. The daily record posted on the fridge showed consistent readings of less than 20 degree Celsius. It appears to meet the intent of the regulation.
The narrow dividing wall between the entrance to the shower room and the shower is peeling paint, the fence between the driveway and the backyard is getting wobbly and a horizontal 2x4 stabilizing topper to the fence latice on the right of the gate is missing. The manager states all these issues are on the BC Housing list awaiting repair.
A spread sheet for staff qualifications was provided to this LO by the manager. Some of the information was not available. Please ensure that the spreadsheet provided reflects the current status of the staff and that expiry dates for CRC (Criminal record checks), First Aid, and dates of most recent performance reviews are clearly identified for inspection.
Restraints in the form of bed rails and seat belts have not been reviewed since 2014 for one PIC. Since there has been recent change in the CCALA and RCR with respect to restraint, this issue will be reviewed and forwarded to the manager.
Week 3 of the spring/summer menu was reviewed. Evening snacks were observed to contain only 1 food group. The manager states that there are 2/3 residents who are struggling with weight gain, and that one of the FH Licensing Dietitian workshops had indicated that in this instance it was reasonable to offer only one food group in the evening. The LO will confirm the details of this issue and respond to the manager.
The substitution list has had no entries since May 20, 2016. The manager states that there have been no substitutions in that time because the menu is closely followed. It is important to note that celebration meals such as, birthdays, Christmas, Easter etc are considered substitutions in the event their contents are not consistent with the menu.
This facility appears clean and well organized. I would like to thank the staff and the manager for their assistance with this inspection.
