We are writing now that Hurricane Helene has passed, to share what we will do to recover from the storm. This morning our leadership team is visiting communities that were evacuated, to assess damage from Helene. We will inspect each building to ensure its safety and evaluate what needs repair. Safety of residents and team members is our first priority after a severe storm.
We continue to follow the guidance of our county emergency management offices. This morning they have expressed concerns about dangerous road conditions and continued flooding.
After evacuation orders have been lifted and an assessment of damage is complete, we will make plans to bring residents back from their evacuation sites. Each community’s Executive Director or Administrator will provide detailed communications about this. We urge residents not to make any specific plans to return while we work as quickly as possible to restore safety.
Please join us in sharing thanks for our team members who stayed overnight or evacuated with residents to ensure we can continue to provide for them. Together, we are stronger than any storm!
