Accessibility

The Bluffs of Preston is committed to providing a welcoming and accessible online experience for everyone, including individuals with disabilities.

We believe all visitors should be able to access information about our assisted living community, services, living options, pricing, respite care, and contact information as independently and easily as possible.

Our Accessibility Commitment

We are working to make prestonbluffs.com accessible and user-friendly for people of all abilities.

Our goal is to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, which provide internationally recognized recommendations for improving digital accessibility.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we regularly review our website to identify opportunities for improvement.

Accessibility Features

As part of our accessibility efforts, we aim to provide:

  • Clear and consistent page structure
  • Logical heading organization
  • Descriptive text for meaningful images
  • Sufficient color contrast between text and backgrounds
  • Keyboard-accessible navigation
  • Clearly identifiable buttons and links
  • Accessible form labels and instructions
  • Visible keyboard focus indicators
  • Readable text sizes and spacing
  • Mobile-friendly and responsive page layouts
  • Descriptive link text where possible
  • Content that can be understood without relying solely on color
  • Appropriate alternative text for important website images

Keyboard Navigation

We aim to make important areas of our website accessible using a keyboard without requiring a mouse.

Visitors should be able to use common keyboard controls such as the Tab, Shift + Tab, Enter, and Space keys to navigate interactive elements, including links, buttons, and forms.

Images and Alternative Text

Meaningful images on our website are intended to include descriptive alternative text where appropriate.

Decorative images that do not provide essential information may be excluded from assistive technology so they do not create unnecessary interruptions for screen-reader users.

Forms

We aim to make website forms easy to understand and complete.

Form fields should include appropriate labels, instructions, and understandable error messages where applicable.

If you experience difficulty submitting a form, you may contact us directly by phone or email.

Text and Color Contrast

We work to maintain sufficient contrast between text and background colors to improve readability for visitors with low vision or color-vision differences.

We also aim to avoid presenting essential information through color alone.

Screen Readers and Assistive Technologies

Our website is designed with the goal of supporting commonly used browsers, screen readers, keyboard navigation, and other assistive technologies.

Because technologies and accessibility standards continue to evolve, some combinations of browsers and assistive technologies may provide different experiences.

Third-Party Content

Some areas of our website may include functionality, links, maps, widgets, or services provided by third parties.

While we strive to work with accessible services, we may not have full control over the accessibility of third-party content or platforms.

If you experience an accessibility problem with third-party functionality used on our website, please contact us so we can assist you or provide the information in another format when reasonably possible.

Ongoing Improvements

Digital accessibility is an ongoing process.

We periodically review our website and may use automated accessibility testing, manual testing, keyboard testing, and other evaluation methods to identify and address accessibility barriers.

Our goal is to continue improving the website as technology, content, and accessibility guidance evolve.

Need Assistance?

If you have difficulty accessing any part of our website, completing a form, reading content, or using a website feature, please contact us.

We will make reasonable efforts to provide the information or service you need through an accessible alternative.
