Please review the latest updates noted below in response to Hurricane Florence.
Storm Preparedness Plan
The safety and well-being of our residents is our highest priority. Our coastal communities have a storm preparedness plan in place and are equipped with water, food, permanent or ready-to-deploy temporary generators and supplies to care for residents. We are taking appropriate actions to keep them safe throughout the storm, watching the storm closely and we will follow the directions of authorities.
Evacuation Plan
We are actively monitoring the zones that the Brookdale communities are in. While there may be an evacuation order within the county of your loved one’s community that does necessarily not mean the location of your loved one’s community is within that specific zone. The safest option is for residents to be sheltering in place in locations out of the higher risk zones unless otherwise directed by authorities.
The following communities have been evacuated at this time. If your loved one’s community is not listed, that means they are sheltering in place at this time. Calls can be directed to their community.
North Carolina Communities
The North Carolina governor has ordered mandatory evacuations for several coastal counties.
We have detailed plans in place that include moving residents to a safer area with accompanying care associates, providing temporary accommodations as well as food, beverages and personal belongings.
