9.29.22 Update at 11:00am EST

Both residents and team members are doing very well. At 7:45am today, the community did lose power, but have a backup generator on as winds started to increase. Community maintenance is handling some issues of water leaks however, no other significant damage has been reported as of this time. Breakfast for residents was delivered to their apartments. We will continue to provide updates throughout the day.

Currently, at this time, we are not under an evacuation order, and we are prepared to Shelter in Place through the storm. Our building is in a No Evacuation zone and above the flood level. We are continuing to monitor Hurricane Ian and while we can’t control the weather, we can remain dedicated and committed to our residents! Some of our staff have brought their families to stay here so they do not have to worry about their loved ones while they are caring for yours. If State or Local authorities do call for an evacuation, we have coordinated transportation arrangements for our residents and supplies will be brought with us. We will continue to monitor Hurricane Ian and update residents and families as the situation changes.

Continue to Stay Safe,

Liz DiSano

General Manager

 

09.27.22 UPDATE AT 10:30 A.M. EST

The team and Residents are in good spirits. We continue to remain in touch with the Volusia County Office of Emergency Management and we still plan on sheltering in place. If this direction would change, we have made the necessary arrangements. In the event of an evacuation, Residents will be transported by bus to a Solvere sister community, Cabana at Jensen Beach. We have busses at the ready and additional team members will follow with supplies.

We will continue to update you here as we learn more.
