Sunshine Retirement Living will waive the one-time fees of between US$1,000 and $3,000 for new and temporary residents at four of its communities in California.
The offer is open for new residents whose homes have been damaged or destroyed in the recent fires, which have led to the evacuation of over 20,000 people, with thousands of homes burnt down.
The operator also says it’s open to accommodating other displaced people.
“We’ve gone to all the elder care advisors [such as A Place for Mom and Caring.com]and told them if there are special situations that come up that we can help with, outside of what we’re doing, to let us know,” National Director of Sales and Relationship Development Stephen Eatman said.
They also re-housed over 10 residents who lost their homes last month following flooding in Florida, Texas and Louisiana.
But they aren’t the only ones to lend a hand to fire victims. Medicinal cannabis company CannaCraft has also donated $40,000 of medicinal pot to displaced or evacuated patients and turned their headquarters into a shelter for evacuees.
Gives a whole new meaning to sharing a joint.
