Keeping you safe and well

In response to the increasing concerns regarding COVID-19, we have increased our cleaning and sanitation protocol.

Every morning before you get there the Centre will be completely wiped down and sanitized. Bathrooms, chair arms, door handles, all surfaces that you may touch will be cleaned.

Further, a hand sanitizing station will be at each door and everyone will be required to clean their hands upon arrival. Outside handles will be cleaned several times per day.

We will be going over the accepted hand washing protocol and will post around the Centre at all sinks the proper way for you to thoroughly clean your hands. We will also be reminding you about not touching your face, especially your eyes.

We will remain open until such time as it is not safe for you as the safety of our clients and staff is our first priority. Just remain vigilant and mindful of your surroundings and your personal space and we will continue to provide you with the best support and service that we can.

If you feel sick please call us. Do not come in and we will help you at home as best as we can. …
