Since I just went through Hurricane Charley & Frances I can tell you what my
facility did. Although I wasn't working for them when Charley came through,
they evacuated to a "sister" facility in Lakeland, FL (they went right into the
storm, cause it was supposed to land near where I live). For Frances, we didn't
evacuate, but had staff on had working on 8 hours, off 8 hours. I clocked in on
Sat afternoon at 4p.m. and clocked out Tues morning at 6a.m. I worked a total
of 108 hours in 9 days. I started this job on Thurs and worked 9 days in a row,
with my day off being this past Sat. We were prepared to evacuate for Ivan, but
it looks like we are safe from that one. Every facility is different. I work
in an Assisted Living Facility with a Nursing home right up the driveway and
they didn't evacuate at all. The nursing home I worked for before Charley came
through, terminated me because I chose to evacuate my home rather than go to
work. When I called they were not prepared to
take anyone in.
