ElderHaven Florida connects vulnerable seniors with caring host families during emergencies — coordinating shelter, transportation, and support when it matters most.
Connecting seniors in danger zones with vetted host families in safer areas of Florida.
Volunteer drivers get seniors safely to host families and back home once the danger has passed.
NOAA-powered alerts keep everyone informed and ready to act the moment a threat emerges.
Every host family is thoroughly vetted so seniors and their families can have complete peace of mind.
Hurricane season runs from June through November — placing hundreds of thousands of seniors at serious risk every single year.
Many older Floridians live alone, have limited mobility, depend on medical equipment, or lack the financial resources or family networks to evacuate safely.
Each storm season, seniors are among the most likely to be injured, displaced, or killed — not because help doesn't exist, but because it isn't coordinated.
At the same time, thousands of Florida families in safer areas of the state are willing and able to open their homes — but have no organized way to connect with seniors who need them.
See Our Solution →Hundreds of thousands of Florida seniors have no family nearby to assist during evacuations.
Many seniors rely on wheelchairs, walkers, or equipment that traditional shelters can't accommodate.
Medications, oxygen, dialysis — standard shelters are often ill-equipped for seniors' medical requirements.
Many seniors refuse to evacuate without their pets — a barrier ElderHaven addresses through matched, pet-friendly host families.
Eight core features designed to connect, coordinate, and protect Florida's seniors when it matters most.
Captures medical needs, mobility requirements, medications, dietary needs, and pets to ensure the perfect match.
Details capacity, available amenities, pet accommodations, and medical equipment availability.
Smart matching based on location, needs compatibility, and available capacity — like a matchmaker for emergencies.
Real-time alerts tied to NOAA hurricane and disaster data so everyone is notified the moment danger approaches.
Connects seniors with volunteer drivers and safe evacuation routes — door to door, both ways.
All host families are background-verified to ensure the safety and peace of mind of every senior placed.
Direct communication between seniors, host families, and transportation volunteers throughout the process.
Status check-ins and reunification tools help seniors return home safely once the emergency has passed.
ElderHaven Florida brings together seniors, host families, and volunteers in a coordinated network of care.
Older Floridians living in hurricane-prone or disaster-vulnerable areas who need a safe place to go — including those with medical needs, mobility challenges, or pets.
Florida families in safer areas who want to open their homes and provide care and shelter to a senior during emergencies. Background-verified and matched by need and capacity.
Compassionate drivers who help move seniors safely between their homes and host families — the vital link that makes safe evacuation possible.
Florida is home to more than 4.5 million residents aged 65 and older — the largest senior population of any state in the nation.
Climate patterns are producing stronger and more frequent storms. Traditional shelter systems are overcrowded, underfunded, and often inaccessible to seniors with special medical needs or pets.
ElderHaven Florida offers a scalable, community-powered solution that is urgently needed — and we are committed to launching before the 2026 hurricane season.

ElderHaven was founded by a healthcare professional with over 30 years of experience in rehabilitation and senior care.
Throughout his career, he has witnessed firsthand the challenges seniors face during emergencies — from displacement and lack of resources to the absence of coordinated support systems.
ElderHaven was created to bridge that gap.
Our goal is simple: ensure that no senior is left without care, connection, or a safe place to go when it matters most.
