The following is a list of what we have already implemented or plan to:

• The generator, which provides power to all common areas and emergency outlets, has been topped off and tested.
• Food, water, and general supplies have been checked, and we are sufficiently stocked.
• Sternos, flashlights, batteries, and air mattresses have been purchased.
• Team Leaders and Members are prepared for pre, during, and post-storm support for the community.
• All furniture on residents’ patios will be brought inside.
• All outdoor furniture has been moved indoors and secured.
• Sandbags for all entryways have been obtained.
• All roof drains have been checked and cleared.
• All Medication Administration Records and Care Plans have been printed to ensure continuity of care.
• All medications are being checked to ensure we have at least a 5 day supply from Tuesday on. Any medication not in five-day supply will be ordered STAT.
• Our leadership team will hold daily meetings, more frequently, if needed, so that we can review any outstanding tasks and ensure that we are keeping you updated

Please know that we are doing all we can to maintain the safety of residents and team members. We continue to follow the Sarasota County Emergency Management direction, and we currently plan on sheltering in place. If you are planning to take your loved one to your home, please be sure to communicate with us to ensure that we have an accurate list of residents staying in the community and so that we can provide you with any medications or supplies in advance.
