Dawn Farm is committed to keeping high standards for the maintenance of its facilities, and for the health and safety of the clients, staff, volunteers and visitors who use those facilities. To keep these standards, each clinical site will be self inspected on a monthly basis to identify any areas needing improvement. Inspections will be done at various times of day and night to make sure that any concerns that may have to do with lighting or temperature will be identified. Each inspection will result in a report on the Site Inspection link located on the Intranet Home Page (through Apricot) to keep an ongoing record of site inspections.
