For your information we are considered an essential service but only if absolutely required.
Where possible we are encouraging clients to stay home.

We have have installed a shield between the front seat and back seat.

At this time we are only taking clients to essential appointments.

Clients are called on the morning of their appointment and are screened to ensure they are feeling well and that they have not travelled and to their knowledge they have not come into contact with anyone that is not well.

We are still able offer the through the door service for seniors and those living with a disability.

We are operating one vehicle at this time, however we will bring a wheelchair van if required.

Appointments must still be pre-booked.

Here are some ideas for Being Good to Yourself
