Do you feel you are safe to visit?
Per the Vermont Governor, people traveling for essential purposes do not need to quarantine.
This includes travel for personal safety, medical care, care of others, parental shared custody, for food, beverage or medicine, or to perform work for businesses that are currently allowed to operate. Please use your discretion as to whether your visit is essential or if you have been quarantining for at least 14 days where you have been previous to your visit.
Of course, we remain committed to the safety of our Clients, please keep this in mind when planning a visit. If adhering to these conditions are not possible for you at this time, we are happy to utilize video meetings to keep you connected as much as possible.
