Due to its geographical location, Florida has quite a history of hurricanes and they are part of everyday life. Living alone as an older adult can be risky due to stressful situations such as power outages, flooded roads and empty grocery shelves that these severe weather conditions bring. With that, you or your loved ones are encouraged to live in retirement communities as they can provide the shelter and safety needed.
These are a few ways how retirement communities can offer shelter during the hurricane season in Naples, FL.
Hurricane Preparedness
Implementing safety guidelines to keep our residents is a priority while maintaining a quality level of service and comfort. Guidelines and preventive measures have been built upon the responses of local authorities and health organizations to create different preparedness plans for specific situations. At Discovery Village At Naples, we have highly skilled and trained professionals to protect the health and well-being of our residents.
Building Measures
Due to the occurrence of hurricanes in Floria, buildings in the state are generally safer than most in the United States. Newer homes have to adhere to the stringent building codes that Florida has implemented in response to hurricanes. This includes strict wind load requirements and other safety features to minimize the damage caused.
A Normal Lifestyle
If you are a resident of Florida, you have probably seen empty grocery shelves and long lines at the gas station when a hurricane is approaching. But in retirement communities like ours, you wouldn’t have to worry about what your next meal would be or rationing. We’ve got that figured out for you!
With Sensations Dining, residents get to enjoy healthy and delicious meals three times a day. Delicious meals are made from scratch by our executive chefs daily and are made to suit every palate.
24-hour Support
Access to home care services can be interrupted when travel is too dangerous for you or your loved ones. Due to flooded and blocked roads, hospitals and urgent care centers will not be as easily accessible. However, at a fully staffed retirement community like ours, we are always ready to attend to a resident’s needs at a moment’s notice. You can live a carefree life knowing that there will always be a 24/7 professional team onsite – be it a medical emergency or you simply just need someone to assist you out of bed, we will always be here for you.
Consider Moving into Our Retirement Community
It is normal to worry about your safety when you have mobility limitations or other impairments. We understand that it can be such a hassle to tend to emergencies at night and even worse when you are unable to call for help.
When you move into our retirement community at Discovery Village At Naples, you don’t have to worry about liaising with different parties just to get yourself to hospitals or urgent care centers. Our highly-skilled and trained professionals will be here for you regardless of what time it is!
