  • Residents’ Bill Of RightsResidents' rights

    Inspectors found that a staff member caused a physical injury to a resident during care, and the home did not fully promote the resident's right to freedom from physical abuse.

  • Home To Be Safe, Secure EnvironmentEnvironment & safety

    Inspectors found that a resident was allowed to leave the home without supervision and was observed walking on a road away from the facility, which put the resident's safety at risk.

  • Plan Of CareCare planning

    Inspectors found that the home did not ensure staff from different disciplines collaborated on integrated assessments for residents. In one case, required behavioral support, physiotherapy, and risk assessments were not completed before an assistive device was applied, and staff were unclear about who was responsible. In another case, nursing staff did not collaborate with the physician or nurse practitioner to assess whether a resident was experiencing symptoms that required monitoring, or to review orders related to that monitoring.

  • Plan Of CareCare planning

    Inspectors found that the home did not complete required hourly safety checks and 30-minute behavioral monitoring observations for a resident over a two-hour period, as specified in that resident's care plan.
