Accessibility (AODA)
Per the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, we train caregivers to accommodate disabilities, from mobility to communication needs. In-home environments are assessed for suitability, and information is offered in accessible formats (e.g., large print). This ensures kids thrive and parents feel confident—contact us to explore accessibility options.
Background Checks
All caregivers undergo criminal and vulnerable sector screenings to protect clients. This rigorous process ensures your child’s safety—trust in our thorough vetting and connect for reassurance.
Client Bill of Rights (Minors)
Minors deserve dignity, privacy, and involvement in care decisions as appropriate. Parents or guardians consent, but we seek assent from capable kids. Channels exist to voice concerns—ensuring your family’s voice is heard. Ask about your rights today.
