It is our goal to fully meet or exceed the intent
of the ADA of 1990. Some exceptions are provided for buildings and
facilities that were constructed prior to the passage of the ADA in
1990, so long as reasonable efforts are made to accommodate for the
people with special needs.
Accommodations:
1) A wheel chair ramp and an extra wide parking
space are provided immediately in front of the entrance.
2) “Lever style” door knobs are present on all public access doors
within the building.
3) Clerical tasks and financial transactions will be performed in the
exam room or in the reception area for any or all customers using a
wheel chair, walker, or demonstrating evident weakness or less than an
average ability to stand at a counter.
4) Where indicated, clinic staff will greet or meet customers at the
car to walk in or carry in the pet(s). The same will be provided in
return upon completion of services.
5) Where indicated and staffing conditions
permit, “house calls” may be made by veterinarians to accommodate the
“home bound” clients.
6) While not be “handicapped” per se, parents with
small children in their care should be provided accommodations as well.
This is only a partial list of the things our
staff should be doing to live up to the intent of the ADA and the
Golden Rule. If there is something that we can do to better serve you
and your pet, please let us know.
