IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — HCP, Inc. (NYSE: HCP) today provided an update on the impact from Hurricane Harvey.
HCP’s preliminary assessment indicates its assets incurred either no or limited damage due to Hurricane Harvey. All medical office buildings and most senior housing communities in the storm-impacted region are fully-operational. Three operating and one triple-net senior housing communities were evacuated due to water intrusion and to ensure the safety of our residents. Remediation work has begun and residents are expected to return over the coming days and weeks.
HCP’s impacted assets are covered by property and business interruption insurance and the Company expects all damages will be insured under its existing polices subject to modest deductibles. As the duration and full impact of the storm remain unknown, the Company will provide additional updates in the event of any material changes.
“Our thoughts go out to the many people impacted by this devastating storm,” commented Tom Herzog, HCP’s President and CEO. “Brookdale and our other operating partners, along with our on-site teams, were well-prepared and continue to work diligently to ensure the safety of our residents and tenants.”
