We have received confirmation from Sarasota County Emergency Center that our residents and team members are clear to return and full power has been restored to the Elancé at Sarasota community.

We will be transferring all evacuated residents from their host communities back to Elancé at Sarasota tomorrow.

Residents who sheltered with their families will be welcome back, and will be contacted separately to confirm a time when they may return to the community.

We would like to give a special shout out to our amazing RUI team members and residents at the host communities who graciously shared their home and cared for our evacuated residents.

We would also like to, once again, thank our families for their support during this transition. Your patience and encouraging words are truly appreciated. We will send out an update once the residents have arrived safely and are settled at the community.

We are pleased to announce that our evacuated residents and team members remained safely sheltered at their host communities throughout the storm. Our Elancé at Sarasota community sustained minimal damage which should not interfere with the return of the residents. The building is currently operating on generator power and the clearance of roadways back to the community are being assessed.

The county emergency management must clear the Elancé at Sarasota building for residents’ return. As soon as we receive the word to move forward, we will send additional communication to inform all residents and family members of our plans to return.

We want to thank each of our families for their support and patience during this evacuation. We thank you for trusting our team to care for your loved ones as their safety is our top priority.

Family members are encouraged to contact their loved ones directly. Should you have any additional questions regarding our Elancé at Sarasota residents please reach out to 941.217.7523.
