In completely unrelated news,
After speaking with our residents, we can confirm:

• One resident remembers unloading the truck personally

All accounts are being treated as credible.
The investigation remains ongoing.

Last nights wind storm resulted in a downed power line on our property. The downed line led to a power outage and a mechanical issue in our boiler room in the basement. The motor in the boiler room overheated resulting in smoke in the basement. We treated the situation as a code red and moved all the residents to the safe zone while the fire department assessed the situation. We did not have an active fire. Our power was out for several hours however, our staff did a super job at moving all the residents and keeping everyone safe until things could go back to normal. A big shout out to our staff for acting so swiftly and our residents for being so patient. Tiffin fire department was on the scene immediately and assisted us in containing the situation. We take the safety of our residents very seriously and will always do what needs done to keep them safe. It was a late night for us all so everyone is a little sleepy today but we are thankful the situation did not result in any injury to anyone. A special thank you to Our Director of Plant Operations Bob Caster, he stayed on sight all evening until everything was back to normal. Thank you for trusting us to care for your loved ones!
