Who are we, what do we do, and how can we help Durham Region?

Who Is Elderado?

Daniel Clarke, Founder of Elderado

• Former family caregiver to my Grandma
• My Grandma had lupus, was hospitalized, and needed to move into a long-term care home or a retirement home

The Problem

• Navigating elder care options is hard!
• There's limited resources to support families - even among social workers and discharge planners

Our Solution

• If we can compare hotels around the world on Booking.com, why can't we compare elder care homes?
• In 2023, we started building our database of all 1,400 long-term care and retirement homes in Ontario

What does Elderado do?

2. Apply filters – care services, price, language, culture, and more
3. Compare homes
   • Video tours
   • Inspection reports
   • Google reviews
   • Sample menus
   • Activity calendars
4. Contact homes directly – schedule a tour or ask questions
5. Find resources – learn about applying for long-term care
