Shell Point teams are actively tidying up after the storm and working to get things back in order as quickly as possible. Our main challenge right now is the power outage, which many across Florida are also facing. During times like these, the kindness of neighbors and the sense of community we share make all the difference. We know this is a difficult time, and we truly appreciate your patience and support. Here’s today’s update.

Power Outages
We know that Florida Power & Light is addressing the situation. Generators power the Larsen Medical Center, The Springs, Connected Living, King’s Crown, and The Arbor. A generator also powers the second floor of The Island parking garage. Outlets can be utilized at this site for charging and other essential power needs. Starting Saturday, October 12, our storm hotline will serve as a power outage information line for evacuated residents who can call (239) 339-2541 to check if power has been restored.

Plumbing is Operational
Although water pressure may be lower in higher-level units, plumbing is fully operational and can be used as usual.

Elevators
With the exception of a couple buildings, life safety elevators in multi-story buildings (those with more than two floors) are operational and running on generator power. Teams are actively working on the elevators that are not yet in service.

Shelter Updates
Independent living residents sheltering on The Island, as well as residents from Connected Living, King’s Crown, and The Springs, returned home on Thursday. Arbor residents will return home today.

Wellness Checks Underway – Stay Hydrated
This morning, door-to-door wellness checks are underway. Even those living independently can struggle without electricity, particularly without air conditioning. Please stay hydrated!

Complimentary Takeout Meals
It’s our pleasure to offer complimentary takeout meals to Shell Point residents while we await the restoration of electricity. Residents can pick up meals from the second floor of The Island garage. Kindly check in on neighbors and offer to bring them a meal. We’re happy to provide extras for your delivery!

Takeout Meal Times
7:00 – 8:30 a.m.
12:00 – 1:30 p.m.
5:00 – 6:30 p.m.

Operations
The medical center is open today. The pharmacy is closed. FineMark Bank & Trust cannot open due to the power outage, but Anna Smith is available at the main FineMark branch. All other facilities, venues, restaurants, activities, and events will remain closed/canceled for today.
