We ask that you:
- If you are not feeling completely well OR have been exposed to someone with symptoms that could be COVID related, please stay home and request Telecare or to re-schedule.
- Arrive on time or wait in your car until time for your visit. Please do not enter early.
- Wear a mask to the office and when leaving.
- Please wash your hands upon entry to the office area.
- You will discuss with your therapist whether or not to wear masks in session while remaining 6 feet socially distanced.
We will:
- Stay home or utilize Telecare if we are sick or have potentially been exposed.
- Commit to doing all in our power to mitigate infection utilizing the best information available to us and that appears reasonable to us given our setting and the reality that none of us are infection control specialists.
- We will open the windows in our offices between appointments for good air exchange. We do not have control over the HVAC system beyond this. If this is a concern for you, please discuss Telecare with us.
