Comments

Licensing observed the emergency food to expire in October and November 2021. The facility manager stated they would alert the person in their agency responsible for the emergency supplies and have them replenished.
Licensing noted that 95% of the corporate policies had not been reviewed since 2017 as per the update sheet in the binder. The facility manger reported that updates are sent to the home as they happens and the manager believed this facility’s binder to hold the most up-to-date versions. Licensing made the facility manager aware of RCR s.85 (1)(b) regarding annual review of policies.
This Licensing Officer would like to thank the Manager and Staff for their assistance in completing this routine inspection.
