Brookdale Senior Living : Hurricane Dorian Update

Updated 8:15 AM CST - 9/5/19

Please review the latest updates noted below in response to Hurricane Dorian.

UPDATE

Hurricane Dorian's maximum sustained winds increased to the 115-mph threshold required to regain Category 3 status. Hurricane and storm surge warnings are posted along the North and South Carolina coasts. The impact in South Carolina will be felt through Thursday night.

We are continuously monitoring the conditions and continue to make decisions regarding evacuations in those states based on caution and safety in regard to our residents.

We are taking appropriate actions to keep them safe throughout the storm and will update this website and community Facebook pages with any necessary updates regarding the status of the storm and/or communities.

For immediate updates, subscribe to email news alerts here.

Storm Preparedness Plan

The safety and well-being of our residents is our highest priority. Our 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 Plans

We are actively monitoring the zones that the Brookdale communities are in. Evacuation plans will always be shared here and on the Facebook pages. 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 are planning an evacuation. 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.

When it comes to evacuations - 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.

Residents will remain in their temporary accommodations until officials approve the return home. Once buildings can be assessed and the area is safe for return, we will be able to return residents to their home communities. We will update returns in the information below. We appreciate your patience.
