The sun is shining today, and we’re hopeful that more of our neighbors will see their power restored soon.

Thankfully, we’ve remained on full power, giving our generator a much-needed break.

Many of our staff members are still without power, some even stranded behind fallen trees and downed power lines. Those who can make it in are going above and beyond to care for our elders, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

For employees who’ve suffered damage to their homes or are unable to return safely, we’re sheltering them here until we can assist in finding alternate living arrangements.

We are deeply thankful for the community members who have donated food, drinks, and supplies to help keep our team nourished and hydrated—your generosity means the world to us. And thank you as well for the warm blankets and cozy items that have brought comfort to our residents during this difficult time.

To those following our updates: yes, the televisions and internet are back on, and our residents couldn’t be happier—just in time for the big basketball games this weekend!

Sending blessings to everyone still without power, and heartfelt thanks to the crews working tirelessly to restore it. We are also incredibly grateful to all who’ve stepped up to support community members in need—wherever they may be.

With deepest gratitude,
Lisa Ashley, Administrator

WE ARE STILL ACCEPTING CONTRIBUTIONS

While we’re often called “healthcare heroes,” our team is made up of everyday people—just like the rest of our community—who now face the difficult task of rebuilding. To help support them, the Bay Bluffs Foundation – Areas of Greatest Need Fund (https://baybluffs.org/about/bay-bluffs-foundation/) is accepting donations to provide small stipends for those in need. Contributions can be made online or delivered directly to the facility.
