EXCITING UPDATE
The long awaited day has finally come! We are excited to announce that we have been given clearance to reopen and will do so on Monday, June 1, 2020!
Health and safety have always been our top priority at Clarington Physiotherapy Health and Wellness Centre. Many changes have been made to the clinic to further enhance our already strict guidelines for infection control and to help maintain social distancing. You will notice things like a plexiglass shield on the reception desk, hand sanitizing stations at the front entrance and throughout the clinic, one chair only in the waiting room and temporary removal of the children’s play area, among other changes. Also, don’t be surprised to see all staff wearing masks!
Practitioners’ hours have also been adjusted and bookings have been spread apart to help maintain social distancing. Please note that this may pose a challenge with respect to booking. To help ensure care can be provided in a timely manner and/or to support those clients wishing to stay home, we will continue to offer virtual care (similar to Zoom, FaceTime, Whatsapp, etc.). Research has shown that virtual visits can be as effective as in-person visits, and can even offer certain advantages. For instance, it allows us the opportunity to watch how you perform in your own environment. We can see how you are managing with climbing your stairs, or how you are working within your kitchen environment, or how you are performing your exercises on your own home equipment. These are all things we could never do during an in-person visit. By watching you perform activities in your home, we are better able to give you tips or advice regarding modifications that could be beneficial to you. Further, because they have seen the value in virtual visits, insurance providers across Ontario (including, SunLife, Manulife, Canada Life, Greenshield and others) allow their clients to claim physiotherapy virtual visits as part of their health plans. Please call your provider to confirm coverage.
Should you chose to come for an in-person visit, here are some things we will expect of you:
-
All clients will be screened for COVID-19 on the phone during the booking process. Please be patient and answer the questions honestly. This is for everyone’s safety.
-
On the day of your visit, we ask that you complete the online self-assessment screening tool found at https://covid-19.ontario.ca/self-assessment/ at home. Should you fail to pass the online assessment, you will be required to call and reschedule your appointment for a later date.
-
All clients must wear a mask. Please bring one with you. If you do not have one, one will be provided for you. We kindly ask you retain it for future visits – supplies are limited and without proper personal protective equipment, the office cannot operate.
-
Please use your washroom at home before coming to your appointment. This will help minimize the risk of spread of COVID-19.
-
Please wait in your car until your appointment time.
-
Please leave all personal items in your car e.g. jackets, bags, etc.
-
Please use the hand sanitizer provided immediately upon entering the clinic.
-
Please do not bring anyone else with you to your appointment (other than parent of a minor, or if assistance is needed)
This seems like a long list but it will be very helpful in preventing the spread.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out! To set up an appointment, please contact us by phone at 905-240-9355 or by email at claringtonphysio@gmail.com.
