A Message from the Executive Director

Dear Residents, Family Members and Community Members,

The health and safety of our residents and employees are always our first priority. As the Pinellas County area prepares for the possibility of hurricane impact, the team members at Regency Oaks are making necessary preparations for their safety.

Regency Oaks is a shelter in a place community, and we historically have never flooded.  As a shelter in place community, we have our team members prepared to shelter in place with the residents at the community.

The following is a list of items in preparation:

  • Removed and/or tied down all loose items or structures.
  • Stocked with sufficient levels of food, linens, water, fuel, hurricane supplies, and medications as needed.
  • Have a generator with full power for the Health Center and the main kitchen
  • Have generators for partial power in our Gables East and Gables West buildings.
  • Vehicles fueled to maximum capacity
  • Additional ice and water on hand

We will be communicating via our “one-call system” and email updates. Please call the front desk at 727-791-3381 North Ext. 300, South Ext. 500 if you wish to be enrolled to receive these automated updates.

Further updates will be posted as they come available.

Thank you for your support.

Lindsay Weaver

Executive Director
