Hurricane Idalia Update
August 30, 2023
Dear Residents and Family Members,
Hurricane Idalia has passed by our area and Freedom Plaza. We are happy to say that as a Community, we fared very well.
We only suffered minor landscaping debris, and we are fully operational.
Most importantly, there were no injuries to residents or staff to report, of which we are most thankful.
We want to say a huge “thank you” to our A-Team associates for their commitment to our residents and the operation of our Community. It is evident that our residents are the top priority for our staff, and we are so grateful to be able to serve each of you daily.
Thank you all for your patience and cooperation as we operated through this emergency.
We are thankful to have you as a part of our Community.

Dear Residents, Family Members and Community Members,
The health and safety of our residents and employees are always our first priority. As the Hillsborough County area prepares for the possibility of hurricane impact, the team members at Freedom Plaza are making necessary preparations for their safety.
Freedom Plaza is a shelter in a place community, and we historically have never flooded. As a shelter in place community, we have our team members prepared to shelter in place with the residents at the community.
The following is a list of items in preparation:
- Removed and/or tied down all loose items or structures.
- Stocked with sufficient levels of food, linens, water, fuel, hurricane supplies, and medications as needed.
- Have a generator with full power for the Health Center, Assisted Living, and Memory Care.
- Have generators for partial power in the Plaza and Golf View Terrace buildings.
- Vehicles fueled to maximum capacity
- Additional ice and water on hand
We will be communicating via our “Swift Reach” system and email updates.
For additional information and updates, please reach out to our front desk at 813-633-1992. If we lose phone service our LCS hotline can be reached at (888) 214-8464 to speak to an associate on stand-by.
Thank you for your support.
Angie Roher
Executive Director
