An unscheduled routine inspection was conducted to assess compliance with the Community Care & Assisted Living Act (CCALA), the Child Care Licensing Regulation (CCLR) and the relevant Director of Licensing Standards of Practice (DLP). Evidence for this report was based on the licensing Officers observations, review of the facility records and information provided by the facility staff at the time of inspection.
The following areas were reviewed: Licensing, Physical Facility, Staffing, Policies & Procedures, Care & Supervision, Hygiene and Communicable Disease Control, Medication, Nutrition and Food Services, Programming, Records and Reporting
As part of the Routine Inspection a Facility Risk Assessment is completed and a copy is provided. The Risk Assessment includes non-compliance identified during the routine inspection and a 3 year “historical” review of the facility’s compliance and operation.
