Nicole, Back To A Tropical Storm, Works Her Way Up The Florida Peninsula

Published: November 10, 2022

Update – 9:00 AM EST


Hurricane Nicole has been downgraded to tropical storm status as she moves up the Florida peninsula.



Our communities along Florida’s east coast are faring very well – most have gotten rain and high wind gusts, but nothing that wasn’t expected or managed. Those communities not on the east coast are beginning to feel winds pick up and rain has started. So far, communities are in good shape and spirits.


The storm is expected to turn toward the northwest and north-northwest is expected later today and tonight, followed by an acceleration toward the north and north-northeast on Friday. On the

forecast track, the center of Nicole will move across central Florida this morning, possibly emerge over the far northeastern Gulf of Mexico this afternoon, and then move across the Florida Panhandle and Georgia tonight and on Friday.


Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 60 MPH with higher gusts. Additional weakening is forecast while Nicole moves over land during the next day or two, and the storm is likely to become a tropical depression over Georgia tonight or early Friday.


Nicole remains a large tropical storm with tropical-storm-force winds extending outward up to 450 miles from the center, especially to the north. Daytona Beach, Florida, recently reported sustained winds of 49 MPH with a wind gust of 70 MPH.

Midsouth Senior Management, SRI Management, Augusta Development and local community leaders gathered on August 4 to celebrate the groundbreaking of Silverleaf at Wilson Farms , a new Assisted Living and Memory Care community coming to Lebanon, Tennessee. The 164,000-square-foot community will feature four floors of living space, underground parking and 130 residences, including 106 Assisted Living and 24 Memory Care residences. Located on a hillside overlooking Wilson County, Silverleaf at Wilson Farms will provide a much-needed senior living option for local older adults and families. “Silverleaf at Wilson Farms represents an important investment in the seniors and families of Lebanon and Wilson County,” said Don Bishop, CEO of SRI Management . “As this area continues to grow, families need high-quality senior living options that allow their loved ones to remain close to home and connected to the community they know.” Silverleaf at Wilson Farms will be operated by SRI Management affiliate, Midsouth Senior Management. Midsouth President Rick Sweeney shared during the ceremony that the project is especially meaningful because of his family’s longstanding ties to Wilson County. “This project is personal to us because Wilson County is home,” Sweeney said. “We have watched Lebanon and the surrounding area experience tremendous growth, but senior living options have not grown at the same pace. Silverleaf will help meet that need while allowing residents to remain close to their families, churches, physicians and community connections.” The groundbreaking ceremony also included remarks from Lebanon Mayor Rick Bell and Lebanon Wilson County Chamber of Commerce President & CEO Andrea Wilke. Once open, Silverleaf at Wilson Farms is expected to create approximately 80 local jobs and contribute an estimated $2.5 million in annual wages to the area. Thank you to the project partners, local leaders, and community members who joined us to mark this exciting milestone. We look forward to watching Silverleaf at Wilson Farms take shape and eventually welcome its first residents, families and team members.

We're proud to share that SRI Management has once again been named one of Florida's Best Companies To Work For, ranking #6 among medium-sized employers statewide. This marks the fifth consecutive year we've earned this recognition from Florida Trend magazine's annual Best Companies To Work For In Florida program. Why this one means something different Being named to a list like this once is a nice moment. Being named to it five years in a row tells a different story — one about consistency, not luck. This recognition isn't based on marketing or self-promotion. It comes from an independent evaluation of workplace policies and practices, paired with a survey measuring real employee satisfaction. In other words, it reflects what it's actually like to work here, according to the people who do. "Being named to this list once is meaningful. Being named five years in a row tells you something different — it tells you this isn't a moment, it's who we are," said Don Bishop, CEO of SRI Management. "Our teams show up every day for the residents and families we serve, and this recognition belongs to them." "What makes this mean the most to me is that it's driven directly by our employees' voices," said Ryan Carlson, SVP of Human Resources. "That's not something you can manufacture — you have to earn it, year after year." A recognition built on people, not policy Florida's Best Companies To Work For program is managed by Florida Trend and the Workforce Research Group, and endorsed by the HR Florida State Council. To qualify, companies must employ at least 15 people in Florida and have been in operation for at least one year. From there, participating organizations are evaluated on workplace policies, practices, and culture — and their employees are surveyed directly to measure satisfaction. At SRI Management, we believe great senior living care starts with a great workplace. When our teams feel supported, valued, and set up to succeed, that care extends naturally to the residents and families who trust us every day. We're grateful to every team member across our communities and home office who made this fifth consecutive recognition possible. Here's to continuing to raise the bar — together.
