Non-compliance findings and rectification, explained

When a monitor finds a continuing care home is not meeting a standard, it is recorded as a finding of non-compliance. Alberta then tracks whether the home puts it right. Here is what each status means.

What a finding is

A finding of non-compliance is recorded when a monitoring visit finds a home is not meeting a specific accommodation or health-service standard. The record cites the standard, describes what was found, and is tracked through to whether it was addressed.

The status a finding can carry

Issued
The finding has been recorded and is not yet addressed.
In progress
The home is actively working to correct the finding.
Ongoing
A continuing matter the home is managing rather than a one-time fix.
Rectified
The home corrected the issue and Alberta confirmed it.
Resolved
The finding was closed, sometimes by means other than a direct fix.
No longer relevant
The finding no longer applies, for example because circumstances changed.

How the counts on our pages add up

  • Findings means every non-compliance item recorded, across all standards.
  • Addressed combines rectified, resolved, and no longer relevant.
  • Open combines issued, in progress, and ongoing.
  • Each home page shows the split between addressed and open, and the province-wide picture shows how the system as a whole compares.

A count is context, not a verdict. We do not assign scores or star ratings, we do not rank homes, and we do not publish best or worst lists.
