If you or someone you love lives in South Florida, you need to be prepared in the event of a storm.  Don't wait until the last minute... Call us today and speak with one of our Care Managers.  We can assist you in creating a hurricane or disaster plan that is just right for you and your family. 800-209-4342.

ElderCare at Home and ElderCare Resource Center  now offer extensive hurricane and disaster preparedness planning services to seniors who are vulnerable during hurricane season or in the event of a disaster. Our Care Manager's will work with you before, during and after the crisis.  They will ensure that you have a place to go if you’re evacuated and if you choose to stay at home, they’ll also make sure you have plenty of supplies, extra medications and when possible, a caregiver to see you through.

The Service Includes:

  • Providing a comprehensive needs assessment and developing an emergency plan.  This may involve purchasing supplies for remaining at home; helping to sign-up for a special-needs shelter; making hotel reservations or out-of-town travel arrangements.
  • Communicating and staying in contact with your family or other out-of-state emergency contacts.
  • Coordinating and purchasing emergency supplies.

  • Remaining in contact with you during a hurricane watch to assure that your emergency plan is properly implemented.

  • Calling or visiting you as soon as possible after the storm to assure your safety and wellbeing. We will also attempt to reach family members and take steps to address any needs that have arisen during and after the storm.

This hurricane season make sure you and your loved ones are taken care of with ElderCare at Home's Hurricane Preparedness Plan.
