COVID 19 PROTOCOL


Forest Gate Therapy Inc. is happy to announce that we will be providing home services starting Friday June 5, 2020. 
With the return to in person treatments comes a new set of protocols required by the province that we have adopted within our clinic to keep you safe during this pandemic. 

New procedures are as follows for in home treatments:

Screening - Clients will be required to complete a screening assessment prior to their appointment. The treating therapist will call upon their arrival, prior to entering the premise, to complete screening over the phone. If there are any other individuals in the home at the time of the treatment they will be required to answer the screening assessment as well and maintain a social distance of 2 metres during the home visit. 

Personal Hygiene and PPE - Therapist and clients are both required to wear a mask during the duration of the treatment. It is asked that the client provide a small garbage can by the front door for the therapist to dispense cleaning towelettes and masks upon their departure. Masks will be provided for a fee of $3 to the client if they do not have their own. Therapists will require access to a bathroom for hand hygiene before and after treatment. 

Payment - We ask that you pay with credit card or etransfer.
