Accessibility Statement

At Gardiner Point Care Home, we are committed to providing an accessible and inclusive environment for all residents, their families, and visitors. This commitment extends to both our physical facility and our online presence. We believe that everyone deserves equal access to information and services, and we are dedicated to treating all individuals with dignity, independence, and respect.

Our Commitment

We strive to meet the principles of accessibility set out in Canadian and provincial standards, including aligning with the spirit of the Accessible Saskatchewan Act. Our goal is to ensure our communications, services, and digital experiences are accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of ability or technology.

Digital Accessibility

We are actively working to ensure our website conforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA standards. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user-friendly for everyone.

To improve accessibility, we have implemented (or are in the process of implementing) the following features:

• Semantic HTML: Using appropriate HTML structure so screen readers can accurately interpret the page layout.
• Color Contrast: Ensuring text and background colors have sufficient contrast to be readable by individuals with visual impairments.
• Keyboard Navigation: Allowing the website to be navigated using a keyboard instead of a mouse.
• Alternative Text: Providing descriptive alt-text for images and media.
• Responsive Design: Ensuring the website scales cleanly across desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.

Facility Accessibility

Beyond our website, Gardiner Point Care Home is designed with physical accessibility in mind. Our home features wheelchair-friendly layouts, accessible washrooms, safety handrails, and environments designed specifically to support individuals with mobility challenges and cognitive conditions such as dementia.

Feedback and Alternative Formats

Accessibility is an ongoing journey. If you encounter any barriers while using our website or visiting our facility, or if you require any of the information on this site in an alternative, accessible format (such as large print or plain text), please let us know.

We value your feedback and aim to acknowledge all accessibility-related inquiries within 3-5 business days.
