We are safe.

Thank you for the thoughts and prayers. Our team is incredible and we are grateful.

As we prepare for the arrival of Hurricane Milton, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to our incredible teams and leaders at Priority Life Care. As Floridians, we understand the challenges that hurricanes bring, but it’s in moments like these that I’m reminded of the resilience and dedication that makes our communities so special.

To every staff member working tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of our residents, thank you. Your efforts to create a secure environment, manage logistics, and provide comfort are a testament to your unwavering commitment to those we serve. Your quick action and professionalism in the face of this storm have been nothing short of inspiring.

Please continue to stay safe, look out for one another, and know that I am here with you every step of the way. Together, we will weather this storm, just as we have in the past.

Thank you again for your dedication, your compassion, and your strength. We are Priority Life Care, and we are resilient.
