Our new Protocol for Client Interactions during th

Our new Protocol for Client Interactions during the COVID-19 pandemic involves staging areas, increased communication, PPE, social distancing and more.
1. All employees will be wearing appropriate PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) and will maintain the recommended social distancing protocols to ensure maximum protection from the spread of COVID-19. This includes masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, etc.
2. Upon arrival before a pick up or delivery, we will call you and inform you we are on-site.
3. We ask you to provide a safe space to minimize contact. A garage, hallway or other is acceptable.
4. If a separate staging area is not possible because of size or location of the objects, we are happy to move objects in or out of bedrooms, dining areas, etc. and believe we can do so safely. You can direct us through your residence at an appropriate distance.
5. Conversations about treatment can be held outside to minimize the time we spend inside your home.
