Common questions

What does an inspection finding mean?
A finding is where an inspector recorded that a home was not meeting a specific rule. Findings range from a written notification to a compliance order, with a fine for the most serious or repeated cases.
What should I look for when visiting a home?
The public record is one input. A visit shows things the record cannot, such as cleanliness, whether there are enough staff, and how a home handles a family's concerns.
How is the waiting list managed?
Ontario Health atHome manages eligibility and the centralized waiting list for the Champlain region. A home's listed number is a snapshot at the date it was reported.
