Florida nursing homes say the state's new generator law, along with additional training and disaster preparedness, have put nursing homes in a better position this hurricane season, according to an article on the News4 Jax website.
“Our facilities have been doing disaster drills, working their emergency preparedness plans, training their staff,” said Kristen Knapp, with the Florida Healthcare Association. "Making sure they have everything they need to be ready for hurricane season.”
“We're all watching to see what this year's hurricane season is going to bring, but there were a lot of lessons learned, and our priority is always keeping our residents safe,” Knapp said in the article.
The American Health Care Association said it will be releasing detailed information on how many nursing homes and assisted living facilities s have come into compliance with the new generator rule soon.
