Accessibility Statement

Last updated: September 4, 2026

The Tower House Sanctuary is committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive experience. We want our website to be accessible and usable by as many people as reasonably possible, including people with disabilities.

Our Accessibility Efforts

We seek to improve the accessibility of the website by considering recognized accessibility practices in its design, content, and ongoing maintenance. These efforts may include:

Providing alternative text for meaningful images
Using readable text and sufficient color contrast
Organizing pages with clear headings and structure
Supporting keyboard navigation where reasonably possible
Providing descriptive text for links and controls
Adding captions, transcripts, or other alternatives to multimedia when appropriate
Reviewing the website for accessibility barriers and correcting identified problems when reasonably possible

Accessibility is an ongoing process. Websites, browsers, devices, and assistive technologies change over time, and some content or functionality may not yet work equally well for every visitor.

Third-Party Services

Some parts of the visitor experience may be provided by third parties, such as event-registration, payment, mapping, video, or social-media services. We may not control the accessibility of those external platforms, but we welcome reports of difficulties so we can provide assistance or explore an alternative when reasonably possible.

Event and Property Accessibility

The Tower House is a distinctive architectural property, and some areas may present physical-accessibility limitations.

If you are considering attending an event and require an accommodation or information about physical access, seating, parking, pathways, restrooms, or another aspect of the visitor experience, please contact us before the event. We will provide available information and make reasonable efforts to assist.

Requesting Assistance or Reporting a Barrier

If you have difficulty accessing information or using any part of this website, please contact us. It is helpful to include:

The page or web address where you experienced the problem
A brief description of the difficulty
The type of device, browser, or assistive technology you were using, if you are comfortable providing that information
The best way for us to respond

We will make reasonable efforts to provide the requested information in an accessible format and to address identified website barriers.
