The DiversICARE Disaster & Relief Foundation (the
“Foundation”), and Diversicare Healthcare Services, Inc.
(“Diversicare”) (NASDAQ:DVCR), today jointly announced that the
Foundation has raised over $100,000 for those affected by
Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
When Hurricane Harvey devastated the Texas
coast, Diversicare team members at its Yorktown and Houston area
nursing centers were heavily impacted. Some of them lost
everything. In Florida, in the Wauchula area Diversicare team
members suffered great loss due to Hurricane Irma.
As a result, the Diversicare family and friends
donated money to the DiversICARE Disaster & Relief Foundation
to help support the Diversicare team members during this difficult
time. The Foundation has already raised more than $100,000, and
that figure is expected to climb in the coming days and weeks.
“Every penny of these donations will go directly
to the Diversicare Texas and Florida team members who lost their
homes, cars and personal belongings to the hurricanes and
subsequent flooding. We are amazed by the generosity of the donors
and are so grateful for their contributions,” said a spokesman for
the Foundation.
“More than 400 Diversicare team members at these
centers, combined, worked around the clock during the storms to
provide care for our patients and residents. Some team members even
slept in cars in our parking lots, so they wouldn’t miss their
shifts. These heroic actions led to no evacuations for our affected
centers and the opportunity to provide care for our patients and
residents in place. We are blessed to have such a dedicated team of
caregivers,” said Kelly Gill, Chief Executive Officer of
Diversicare.
The DiversICARE Disaster & Relief Foundation
was created for the sole purpose of providing relief to current and
former Diversicare team members who are suffering due to various
hardships.
