Is Women’s Community House accessible for a person with a disability?
Women’s Community House has a comprehensive Customer Service Policy consistent with the Accessibility Ontarians with Disabilities Act and is equipped to help women and children with disabilities. Our property is wheelchair accessible and the shelters have at least one fully accessible bedroom, shower and washroom. All common areas (kitchen, diningroom, livingroom) are fully accessible. Wide elevator doors, Braille elevator buttons, and mirrors to assist in turns and other useful features are in place throughout our facilities. Communication using TTY or other assistive devices is available. Service animals and support persons are permitted at no cost and staff are trained in customer service. The Customer Service (AODA) Policy is available for you to read (also available in an alternate format upon request).
