We take the health and well-being of our clients very seriously and are doing everything possible to ensure the highest hygiene standards are kept at all times.
Niagara Therapy has made the decision to cease our In-Home activities as of Wednesday 25th March 2020. We have also had to significantly reduce staff numbers at this time however we will have a small number of staff on hand to handle critical business functions. We deeply regret needing to make these decisions however the Social Distance and Transmission Mitigation protocols put in place at a State & Federal level have made these decisions neceassary.
Below are the key details of our company policy for all staff members:
