Observed Violations
PHYSICAL FACILITY, EQUIPMENT AND FURNISHINGS: 11020 - CCLR s.13(2) - A licensee must ensure that the community care facility and the furniture, equipment and fixtures within it are clean and in good repair while children are in attendance.
Observation: 1) As the writer entered the facility via the front door the writer observed on the right hand side of the front door an area of the decking that is bubbling and lifting. This area presently has small pools of standing water from rain being blown in.
2) There is a sink located in the activity area that has a set of cupboards located beneath the sink. The bottom of the doors are broken and/or chipped thus preventing the item to be cleaned as the areas that are exposed are porous.

Corrective Action(s): 1) The Licensee will need address the issue of the decking bubbling as this is an indicator that there is the potential for structural damage if the cause of the bubbling continues to go unchecked i.e. decking beginning to rot. This area will need to be repaired or replaced in a manner that ensures it is in a state of good repair.
2) The cupboard doors will need to be repaired and/or replaced in a manner that ensure they are in good repair and non-porous.
Date to be Corrected: Please provide a written plan to the writer outlining when these items will be addressed. This plan must be submitted to the writer by February 23, 2018 however the date of repairs/replacement may be completed at a later date.
