What the numbers show
A few patterns stand out once the totals above are read together.
- Rising findings track more frequent inspection. Findings per inspected home rose from 9.9 in 2023 to 13.0 in 2025, but inspections per home rose faster, from 2.9 to 5.6. The findings recorded per inspection fell over the same period, from 3.4 to 2.3.
- Most findings are the lesser action. About 10% of the 24,419 findings since April 2022 are compliance orders, which set a deadline to fix the issue. The rest are the Ministry’s lesser findings — written notifications and issues the home remedied during the inspection. The breakdown below shows the full split.
- Findings cluster in a minority of homes. The 179 homes with 16 or more findings in 2025 (about 29%) account for roughly 65% of all findings that year. The provincial average is pulled up by this group, so a typical home sits below it.
Why the findings rate is rising
Findings per inspected home climbed from 9.9 in 2023 to 13 in 2025, but that is mostly because homes are inspected more often. Inspections per home rose while the findings recorded per inspection fell. Full years only; 2026 is still in progress.
How findings break down
Every finding of non-compliance is one of three kinds. This is how the whole record since April 2022 divides between them, most serious first.

How findings were spread across homes in 2025
614 homes grouped by how many findings each had in 2025. The 29% with 16 or more accounted for roughly 65% of that year's findings.

The current inspection regime under the Fixing Long-Term Care Act, 2021 began in April 2022, so 2022 is a partial first year. 2026 is in progress.
A finding records that an inspector found a home was not meeting a specific rule; findings range from issues the home remedied on the spot, to written notifications, to compliance orders, with fines for the most serious or repeated cases. These figures describe the system as a whole. We do not rank homes or publish best or worst lists; to read one home’s record in context, use its page.
