Hurricane Helene Update – Wednesday, September 25 at 9:18 a.m. ET

A Message from the Executive Director

Dear Residents, Family Members and Community Members,

The health and safety of our residents and employees are always our first priority. As the Tampa Bay area prepares for the possibility of hurricane impact, the team members at Freedom Plaza are making necessary preparations for their safety.

At Freedom Plaza, we shelter in place.  Historically, the community has never flooded.  Our leadership team is prepared to shelter in place with the residents throughout the storm.

The following is a list of items in preparation:

  • Removed and/or tied down all loose items or structures
  • Provided reinforcement of main entry windows and entrances
  • Stocked with sufficient levels of food, linens, water, fuel, hurricane supplies, and medications as needed
  • Secured a generator and backup generator for the Health Center and the main kitchen
  • Vehicles fueled to maximum capacity
  • Additional ice and water on hand

We will be communicating via our SwiftReach automated communication system, as well as memos and email updates. Please call the front desk at 813-633-1992 if you wish to be enrolled to receive these automated updates.

Further updates will be posted as they come available.

Thank you for your support –
Angie Roher
Executive Director
