Huron Hospice is still waiting for further information from their insurance company about the damage caused when the sprinkler system pipe burst on January 15 at the residence.
In a media release, Hospice officials report every effort continues to be made to return to full functioning as soon as possible
Although the insurance company has indicated that damages caused by the flooding will be covered, as of February 3, Huron Hospice has not yet received the report from the insurer detailing the extent of damage or scope of work to be done. They have also not estimated the cost to complete repairs. As soon as that report is received, Huron Hospice will solicit quotes from contractors who may be interested in this project.
In anticipation of potential supply issues, Huron Hospice has received support from the insurer to order flooring and paint now. The organization has started to recruit skilled volunteers to lay the floor and do the painting. The plan is to install a new floor that will be a durable vinyl floor. Huron Hospice has decided to paint throughout the residence using this rare opportunity when the home is unoccupied.
Willy Van Klooster, the Executive Director, said, “I want to express my gratitude to so many in the community who have expressed their support to the hospice during this time and thank, in particular, the Board of Directors, who have chosen to meet weekly to support the organization through this period of time.”
