Accessibility Statement

ESSE Care and Wellness | https://esse.care

ESSE Care and Wellness is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all visitors, including people with disabilities. We believe that everyone deserves equal access to information about their care options.

Our Standards

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines are developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and are widely recognized as the standard for web accessibility.

Accessibility Features

Our website includes a built-in accessibility widget powered by Ally, which allows you to customize your browsing experience. Using the widget, you can adjust text size and spacing, modify color contrast, highlight links and headings, change fonts for improved readability, and pause animations. Look for the accessibility icon on any page to open the widget and adjust settings to your preference.

Additional Measures

Beyond the accessibility widget, we take the following steps to support an inclusive experience:

  • Providing text alternatives for images and non-text content
  • Using clear, descriptive headings and consistent page structure
  • Designing forms with visible labels and helpful error messages
  • Supporting keyboard navigation throughout the site
  • Regularly scanning our pages for WCAG compliance issues and applying guided fixes

Compatibility

Our website is designed to be compatible with common assistive technologies, including screen readers such as NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver, screen magnification software, speech recognition software, and keyboard-only navigation. Our site is best experienced in current versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.

Known Limitations

We are continually working to improve accessibility. Some third-party content embedded on our site, such as videos, maps, or scheduling widgets, may not fully meet accessibility standards. We are working with our vendors to address these gaps wherever possible.

We aim to respond to accessibility feedback within two business days. If you need information from our website in an alternative format, please let us know and we will work with you to provide it.
