Safe. Confident. Stress-free. Those are just a few of the words members use to describe storm season at The Glenridge – because when you live in Sarasota’s #1 senior living community, you know you’ll always be prepared … no matter what’s on the horizon.
- Storm Security … From The Ground Up. A firm foundation makes a big difference during hurricane season – and The Glenridge’s 150-acre campus, situated safely out of flood plains and evacuation zones, provides exactly that. “The inland location – combined with buildings designed to withstand major storms – allowed us to feel safe right here, rather than having to evacuate,” recall members John and Linda Loewenberg. “It’s a huge advantage.”
- Stress-Free and Surrounded By Friends. Barb Farrell has weathered her share of hurricanes – but her first storm at The Glenridge was an entirely new experience: “Before, living alone in my house, I’d be worrying about what might happen,” she says. “But this time, I didn’t even think about that. No one was alone. You weren’t sitting in your apartment by yourself. You were talking to your neighbors and your friends, connected and assured that everything was taken care of. And it was.”
- A Real “Safe Harbor.” The arrival of Hurricane Milton wasn’t a problem at The Glenridge – but elsewhere in Sarasota, heavy rains took a toll on low-lying neighborhoods. “We were so safe here, we actually had friends who came over to stay with us from another community,” recall Peter and Delane Ferrucci.
“It really feels like a fortress.” - No Power? No Problem! For Chuck and Joyce Gregory, moving to The Glenridge’s Northside came with plenty of advantages, from a two-car garage to a scenic backyard. But storm safety was another big motivator, they say: “Our home offers complete hurricane protection – and the added security of a back-up generator that provides power to the home in the event of storm outages!”
- One Less Thing To Worry About. When Bob Kendall was looking at different communities, he put a priority on peace of mind – for himself and his daughters. “I didn’t want to worry – or have my family worry – about where I was when a hurricane came,” says Bob Kendall. “At The Glenridge, I don’t have to.”
While you’re checking storm prep off your list, why not check off housekeeping, transportation, maintenance, and top-quality healthcare, too?
