COVID-19 OFFICE POLICY
As we continue to navigate through these we have updated our Covid-19 office policy to help be as accommodating as possible and still keep staff and clients safe and healthy. Please see the direct below which is effective immediately (4/1/2022).
OFFICE PROCEDURES:
​
STAFF: Routine cleaning of materials and all surfaces.
CLIENTS: Patients and Caregivers come to clinic at time of appointment. We are still trying to limit many people at one time inside our waiting room, so caregivers can wait in car during session if possible. Therapist will come get client/family at their appointment time.
​
-
EVERYONE WASHES HANDS OR USES HAND SANITIZER UPON ENTERING THE CLINIC.
-
TEMPERATURES MAY BE TAKEN FOR THOSE WHO ENTER THE CLINIC.
-
MASKS ARE OPTIONAL. IF THE PATIENT WOULD LIKE THE THERAPIST TO WEAR A MASK, PLEASE JUST TALK TO EITHER THE THERAPIST OR OUR CLIENT CARE COORDINATOR.
If clients cannot come into the clinic for a session, telehealth appointments are available and encouraged when appropriate.

Patients CANNOT come into our clinics for sessions if:
