Notice of Nondiscrimination

Discrimination is against the law.

Saint Elizabeth Home Care complies with applicable federal civil rights laws and does not discriminate, exclude people or treat them less favorably because of social status, political belief, sex, color, origin, national origin, disability, limited English proficiency and primary language, race, including race characteristics, including ancestry traits; pregnancy or related conditions; sexual orientation; gender identity or expression and sex stereotypes; age, disability (including mental illness and substance use disorder), marital status, familial status, source of income, source of payment, citizenship or immigration status; ethnicity; HIV/AIDS; or religion.

We provide people with disabilities reasonable modifications and free appropriate auxiliary aids and services to communicate effectively with us, such as qualified sign language interpreters and written information in other formats (large print, audio, accessible electronic formats, other formats). We provide free language assistance services to people whose primary language is not English, such as qualified interpreters and information written in other languages.

If you need reasonable modifications, appropriate auxiliary aids and services, or language assistance services, contact our Director, who acts as our Civil Rights Coordinator.

If you believe that we have failed to provide these services or discriminated in any other way, you may file a grievance with our Director by phone at (401) 737-7401 or in person or by mail at 2346 Post rd, Suite 102, Warwick, RI 02886 .
