Notice of temporary disruption
In the event of a planned or unexpected disruption to services or facilities for customers with disabilities Eldercare Home Health will notify customers and/or family as appropriate, promptly via telephone, text, email or any other means that is available and appropriate, as the situation dictates. We will include information about the reason for the disruption, its anticipated length of time, and a description of alternative facilities or services, if available.
Training
The nature of our business is such that accessible customer service is part of what we provide on an on-going, day to day basis. Additional training will be provided as the need arises so that the training can address the needs identified. Training will also be provided to people involved in the development of policies, plans, practices and procedures related to the provision of our goods and services as required.
Training will include:
- An overview of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 and the requirements of the customer service standard
- How to interact and communicate with people with various types of disabilities
- How to interact with people with disabilities who use an assistive device or require the assistance of a service animal or a support person
- How to use the equipment or devices available on-site or otherwise that may help with providing goods or services to people with disabilities. This includes what to do if a person with a disability is having difficulty in accessing services
