Introduction

An unscheduled routine inspection was conducted to assess compliance with the Community Care and Assisted Living Act (CCALA) the Residential Care Regulation (RCR) and the relevant Director of Licensing Standards of Practice (DLSP). This inspection was completed over 2 days. The first day an inspection of the physical facility and review of policies and procedures was completed. Evidence for this report was based on the Licensing Officer’s(LO)
observations, review of facility records and information provided by facility staff at the time of the inspection.

As part of the Routine Inspection a Risk Assessment Tool is completed and a copy is provided. The Risk Assessment includes non-compliance identified during this routine inspection, and a 3 year “historical” review of the facility’s compliance and operation.

A random audit was completed for the following areas utilizing A Licensing Officer’s Guide to Residential Care Database Coding (October 2, 2015): Licensing, Physical Facility, Staffing, Policies & Procedures, Care & Supervision, Hygiene and Communicable Disease Control, Medication, Nutrition & Food Services, Program, Records & Reporting, Resident Bill of Rights.
