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

The 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?

A Free, Unbiased Website

  • Search, filter, compare, and contact every long-term care and retirement home in Ontario
  • Works like Booking.com for elder care

How It Works

  1. Search by location – e.g., within 10 km of Whitby
  2. Apply filters – care services, price, language, culture, and more
  3. Compare homes – view:
    • 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

Key Difference

  • No ranking of homes
  • Unbiased - we don't suggest homes in return for payment
  • Families make informed decisions based on their needs
