How We Keep You Safe During Hurricane Season

At Freedom Square of Seminole, we prioritize the safety and well-being of residents, and hurricane season is no exception. Here’s why you’ll feel safe weathering any storm at our Life Plan Community.

Ideal Location

When it comes to hurricane safety, location is critical. Coastal areas are often the first to be evacuated in the event of a hurricane, and because Freedom Square is situated in the inland area of Pinellas County, we’re not part of the typical evacuation zones. This means that residents can safely stay put during severe weather, reducing the anxiety and logistical upheavals associated with evacuations.

Comprehensive Preparation for All Scenarios

While our location offers an inherent advantage, our preparedness doesn’t stop there. We have a comprehensive hurricane plan to ensure our residents remain safe and comfortable no matter what.

1. Reliable Power Supply

A main concern during a hurricane is the loss of power. We have powerful auxiliary generators to keep essential services running so that residents have access to electricity, heating and cooling systems, even during extended outages. We also have ample fuel reserves to sustain operations for prolonged periods.

2. Adequate Supplies

We keep our kitchens and pantries stocked with a substantial inventory of non-perishable food items and bottled water, which are regularly rotated to ensure freshness, so residents will always have meals. Further, we’re well-prepared with ample medical supplies and personal protective equipment, including masks, gloves and sanitizers, to safeguard our residents and staff.

3. Emergency Hotline

In the event of a phone or power outage, staying in touch with family members can be challenging. Freedom Square provides an emergency hotline specifically for the families of our residents. This dedicated line is manned by our staff during emergencies, providing real-time updates and reassurance to loved ones.

A Solid Plan

Preparedness is not just about having the right supplies; it’s also about knowing what to do when a storm hits. Our staff undergoes regular training to stay current with the latest emergency management techniques, ensuring that we are always ready to respond effectively. Additionally, we educate residents on how to stay safe during a hurricane, including where to seek shelter within the community and how to secure personal belongings.

Peace of Mind for Residents and Families

Choosing a retirement community is a significant decision, and year-round safety is a top priority. At Freedom Square, our inland location, coupled with our comprehensive preparedness measures, means you’ll rest easy knowing you’re safe and in good hands.

Beyond our safety measures, Freedom Square is a community that cares. Our staff is dedicated to providing a supportive and nurturing environment for all our residents. During emergencies, this sense of community becomes even more critical. Neighbors look out for each other, staff members go the extra mile, and families can trust that their loved ones are in a caring and well-prepared environment.

Our Life Plan Community presents a life of true peace of mind, allowing you to enjoy your retirement without the added worry of natural disasters.
