The Care Home Risk Assessment is a crucial document required for care homes operating in Canada to demonstrate compliance with federal and provincial healthcare regulations. It is typically prepared during initial facility setup, updated annually, or when significant operational changes occur. The assessment covers comprehensive evaluation of risks related to resident care, staff safety, facility operations, and emergency preparedness. This document is essential for maintaining licensing requirements, insurance compliance, and demonstrating due diligence in risk management. It must align with provincial healthcare standards, federal guidelines, and specific regional requirements for care home operations. The assessment serves as both a compliance tool and a practical guide for implementing risk control measures.
