Commitment to Accessibility

Addressing the Needs of Patients with Accessibility Issues

Accessible entrance of the Elmdale Health Centre

Creating wheelchair accessibility and a covered drop-off area at our office demonstrates a commitment to inclusivity and convenience for all visitors, including those with mobility challenges. Here's how we've designed our office to accommodate wheelchair users and provide a covered drop-off area:

Wheelchair Accessibility

Ramped Entrance: The entrance to our office is equipped with a gently sloped ramp, allowing wheelchair users to enter the building without encountering barriers. The ramp complies with accessibility standards, featuring appropriate width and slope for easy maneuverability.

Automatic Door Openers: To further facilitate access, our entrance doors are equipped with automatic door openers. These devices enable wheelchair users to enter and exit the building independently by simply pressing a button, eliminating the need for manual door handling.

Wide Interior Spaces: Inside the office, all doorways, corridors, and aisles are designed to accommodate wheelchair users comfortably. We ensure ample space for maneuvering and turning, allowing individuals using wheelchairs to navigate freely throughout the premises.

Covered Drop-off Area

Designated Drop-off Zone: Located at the entrance of our building, we have designated a covered drop-off area specifically for visitors arriving by vehicle.

Covered Canopy: The drop-off area is equipped with a covered canopy to protect visitors from the elements, such as rain or direct sunlight. This ensures that individuals using mobility aids, including wheelchairs, can access the building comfortably without exposure to inclement weather.

Accessible Pathways: From the drop-off area to the entrance, we have installed smooth and level pathways that are accessible to individuals using wheelchairs or other mobility devices. These pathways are free from obstacles and provide a seamless transition from the drop-off point to the building entrance.

Loading Zone Accessibility: In addition to the covered drop-off area, we ensure that loading zones and parking spaces reserved for accessible vehicles are located in close proximity to the entrance. This allows individuals with mobility challenges to access the building efficiently and safely.

By incorporating these features into our office design, we prioritize accessibility and convenience for all visitors, including those with mobility impairments. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and can access our services with ease.
