Hurricanes Helene and Milton brought serious challenges to the Tampa Bay area, but our dedicated Tampa Bay Home Care Assistance caregivers went above and beyond to ensure our clients’ safety and wellbeing, demonstrating the resilience and compassion that defines the quality of the Tampa Bay senior home care we provide.
Some of our devoted caregivers waited more than an hour to get gas to ensure they could reach their clients. Others climbed six flights of stairs when elevators were out. Many faced doubled commutes because of downed traffic lights, and even those whose own homes had been damaged put their clients’ needs ahead of their own. We want to offer a special thank-you to Denise, Carson, Marvelyn, and Caroline, who took shifts ranging from 24 to 75 hours to make sure no one was left without the essential care they rely on. The unwavering commitment of our team of caregivers is a true testament to the reliability and dependability that sets Home Care Assistance Tampa Bay apart.
With hurricane season in full swing, the team at Home Care Assistance of Tampa Bay is committed to supporting our clients and community through any storm. We know how important it is to be proactive and have a plan in place, which is why we encourage everyone in the Tampa Bay area to “Know Your Zone” using the helpful Pinellas County emergency preparedness tool. Visit Know Your Zone to learn about evacuation zones and locate emergency shelters near you. Here’s a list of public shelters available during emergencies. If you or someone you know requires a special needs shelter due to needing oxygen, having limited mobility, or being dependent on electricity, you can register here.
