What happens when the Registrar receives a complaint?
- Make inquiries relating to the complaint,
- Conduct an inspection of the home and any place that is operated in connection with the home and from which services are provided to the home, or direct another inspector to do so,
- Attempt to mediate or resolve the complaint,
- Provide information to or attempt to educate the complainant, the licensee or the other persons, or
- Give the licensee a written warning that if the licensee continues with the activity that led to the complaint, the Registrar may take action against the licensee.
