Introduction

This is a unscheduled routine inspection to assess compliance with the Community Care and Assisted Living Act (C.C.A.L.A.), the Residential Care Regulation (R.C.R.) and the relevant Director of Licensing Standards of Practice (D.L.S.P.). Evidence for this report was based on the Licensing Officer's observations, review of the facility records, and information provided by the facility staff at the time of the inspection.

The following areas were reviewed:

- Licensing
- Physical Facility
- Staffing
- Policies and Procedures
- Care and Supervision
- Hygiene and Communicable Disease Control
- Medication
- Nutrition and Food Services
- Program
- Records and Reporting

As part of this routine inspection a facility risk assessment tool 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.

Observation: For Weatherby 2:

- The first HCA Flow Sheet right after the bowel movement document has no month, but it can be assumed it is for September 2023. One initial for evenings is not documented. Also the section where staff are to initial for the section around "care provided as per care plan/ADLs" not documented in two areas.

For Dr. Al Hogg Pavilion:

- The HCA Flow Sheet for example for two dates (1 for days and 1 for evenings) with no staff initials noted back in July 2023. In addition, there are 2 pages to the HCA Flow Sheet right after the bowel movement documented (September 2023 noted on the bowel movement document), however no date including month on the HCA Flow Sheet.

- The HCA Flow Sheet for example for two dates in October 2023 for nights under the section "initial care given as per ADL/Care Plan".

- 3 post fall management documentation not completed in full. For example, (1) time the Medical Practitioner and Family/Representative was notified for 1 incident, (2) time and date the ambulance was notified for the 2nd and 3rd incidents.

- An advanced are planning document was not completed and the Residential Care Coordinator was going to follow-up on this.
Corrective Action(s): Please ensure the care and services are regulary monitored to ensure the requirements of the Community Care & Assisted Living Act and Residential Care Regulation are being met.

Observation: In Dr. Al Hogg Pavilion, a random review of the hot water temperatures at the ensuite washroom sinks indicated the following three readings:

* 53.9 degrees Celsius (last reading) and slowly increasing.
* 54 degrees Celsius (last reading) and slowly increasing.
* 51 degrees Celsius (last reading) and slowly increasing.

Comments

Medication:
- For example in Dr. Al Hogg Pavilion in review of the PRN (as needed) medications documentation on the medication administration records there was 1 entry with no effect/result/outcome noted. In discussion with the Residential Care Coordinator, regular auditing takes place of the PRN charting. As overall the system appeared thorough, no contravention has been assessed.
