Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Queen Anne Nursing Home is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all visitors, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive online experience that meets or exceeds the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards, as well as applicable provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Accessibility Features

Our website includes the following accessibility features:

  • Accessibility Toolbar: A floating accessibility widget (accessible via the icon in the bottom-right corner) that allows visitors to adjust font size, enable high contrast mode, apply grayscale, highlight links, use a readable font, pause animations, enable a reading guide, adjust text spacing, and enlarge the cursor.
  • Keyboard Navigation: All pages and interactive elements can be accessed and operated using a keyboard alone, including navigation menus, forms, and carousels.
  • Skip Navigation: A "Skip to content" link is provided at the top of each page, allowing keyboard users to bypass repetitive navigation elements.
  • Alternative Text: All meaningful images include descriptive alternative text. Decorative images are marked appropriately so they are ignored by screen readers.
  • Color Contrast: Text and background color combinations meet WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratio requirements (minimum 4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text).
  • Semantic HTML: Our pages use proper heading hierarchy, landmarks, and ARIA attributes to support assistive technologies.
  • Responsive Design: The website adapts to various screen sizes and devices, and supports browser zoom up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.
  • Form Accessibility: All form fields include descriptive labels, error messages are clearly identified, and required fields are indicated.
  • Resizable Text: Font sizes use relative units and can be adjusted using browser settings or our accessibility toolbar.

Standards We Follow

We aim to conform to the following accessibility standards:

  • WCAG 2.1 Level AA — Web Content Accessibility Guidelines published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
  • ADA Title III — Americans with Disabilities Act requirements for places of public accommodation
  • Section 508 — Federal accessibility requirements for electronic and information technology

Ongoing Efforts

We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing effort. We continually review and improve our website to ensure it remains accessible as we update content and features. Our team regularly:

  • Conducts automated and manual accessibility audits
  • Tests with assistive technologies including screen readers
  • Reviews color contrast ratios when updating design elements
  • Ensures all new content meets our accessibility standards
  • Trains content contributors on accessibility best practices

Known Limitations

While we strive for full compliance, some content may not yet meet all WCAG 2.1 AA standards:

  • Some third-party embedded content (such as Google Maps) may have limited accessibility features beyond our control.
  • Older blog posts may contain images with less descriptive alternative text. We are working to update these.
  • PDF documents, if any, may not be fully accessible. Please contact us if you need information from a document in an alternative format.
