When a senior faces an immediate crisis—whether it is homelessness, abandonment, or an unsafe living situation—emergency shelters provide a temporary refuge. These shelters are crucial in providing a safe, secure environment while seniors get the support and resources, they need to regain stability.

We can help

Seniors in shelters may experience overcrowding, limited services, or even neglect. Some may face mistreatment from staff or other residents, while others may go unnoticed entirely. Our team of Advocates steps in to monitor conditions, ensure proper treatment, and helps seniors access safer, longer-term solutions.

• Investigate Shelter Conditions — Address issues of safety, mistreatment, or inadequate care
• Monitor Staff Conduct — Respond to complaints involving abuse, intimidation, or neglect
• Support Emergency Transitions — Help with moving from shelter to stable housing or care
• Coordinate Services — Connect seniors to food, medical care, benefits, or long-term housing
• Protect Vulnerable Seniors — Advocate for seniors with cognitive or physical challenges
