Accessibility Statement

Overview

At Luminary Hospice, we are committed to providing a website experience that is accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities.

We believe that everyone should be able to access the information and resources they need with ease, including individuals who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard navigation, and other accessibility tools.

Our website has been thoughtfully designed and developed with accessibility in mind. We are actively working toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, and we are committed to continually improving the accessibility and usability of our digital experience.

This website is actively being evaluated and improved as part of our ongoing accessibility initiative.

Accessibility Features & Efforts

To support an inclusive and accessible experience, we have implemented the following measures across our website:

  • Semantic Page Structure: We use meaningful HTML elements (header, main, nav, footer, section) and a clear heading hierarchy to help assistive technologies understand and navigate each page.
  • Skip-to-Content Functionality: A “Skip to main content” link is available on every page, allowing users to bypass repeated navigation and quickly access primary content.
  • Language Identification: Each page includes a defined language attribute to ensure screen readers interpret and pronounce content correctly.
  • Responsive and Flexible Design: Our site supports text resizing and is optimized for use across devices, helping ensure content remains accessible on mobile and desktop environments.
  • Accessible Interactive Elements: Navigation menus, accordions, and other interactive components include ARIA attributes (such as aria-expanded, aria-controls, and aria-label) to communicate structure and state to assistive technologies.
  • Keyboard Accessibility: Key features, including modal popups and navigation elements, are accessible via keyboard and support standard interactions such as closing with the Escape key.
  • Focus Management: Focus is managed within dynamic components to support users navigating without a mouse.
  • Screen Reader Support: Screen reader–only text is used where needed to provide additional context for non-visual users.
  • Clear Labeling of Controls: Buttons, links, and icons include descriptive labels so their purpose is clearly communicated to assistive technology users.
  • Image Accessibility: Images support alternative text, allowing meaningful descriptions to be conveyed when visual content cannot be seen.
  • Decorative Elements Handled Appropriately: Non-essential graphics are marked to be ignored by assistive technologies, reducing unnecessary distractions.
  • Consistent Navigation: Navigation patterns are consistent throughout the site to support predictability and ease of use.
  • Accessible Forms: Forms are structured with properly associated labels to ensure fields are clearly identified and usable with assistive technologies.

Ongoing Commitment

Accessibility is an ongoing part of how we serve our community. We regularly review and test our website to identify opportunities for improvement and to better support all visitors. As part of this commitment, we may utilize both internal resources and third-party tools or services to evaluate and enhance accessibility over time.
