Our Commitment to Accessibility
At Optima Living, we believe everyone deserves equal access to information about our services and community. We are committed to making our website accessible to all visitors, including those with disabilities, older adults, and individuals using assistive technologies.
What We’re Doing
We continuously work to ensure our website meets or exceeds Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. Our efforts include:
- Clear, easy-to-read fonts and high contrast colour schemes for better visibility
- Simple navigation with descriptive headings and consistent page layouts
- Alternative text for all images, photos, and visual content
- Keyboard-friendly navigation for those who cannot use a mouse
- Compatibility with screen readers and other assistive devices
- Video content with captions and audio descriptions when available
- Forms designed to be clearly labelled and easy to complete
Our Ongoing Promise
We regularly review and test our website with real users, including seniors and individuals with disabilities. When we identify barriers, we work promptly to remove them. We also train our staff on accessibility best practices to ensure new content maintains these standards.
Need Help?
If you encounter any accessibility barriers while using our website, or if you need information in an alternative format, please don’t hesitate to contact us at (604) 661-8883 or [email protected]. We’re here to help and welcome your feedback on how we can improve.
We view accessibility not as a checkbox to complete, but as a fundamental part of our mission to serve our community with dignity and respect.
