Cheryl, Founder of CareHaven Connect - Created to bring calm, organization, and support to families navigating caregiving.
Meet The Founder
Hi, I’m Cheryl, the founder of CareHaven Connect, built right here on the Gulf Coast. My background includes years working in high-acuity healthcare, including the ICU—where I saw firsthand how quickly families can become overwhelmed trying to manage medical information, schedules, medications, and communication. Today, as a mental health provider, I also see the emotional side of supporting a loved one: stress, burnout, anxiety, grief, and the invisible weight families carry day after day. Through my work, I’ve developed a deep respect and admiration for caregivers—people who continue showing up tirelessly, again and again, often while holding far more than anyone realizes. CareHaven Connect was created to bring calm to the chaos—giving families one organized space to coordinate, share updates, and stay connected. It’s built on a simple belief: the people holding everything together deserve tools that truly make life easier, not more complicated.
Beyond the Work
When I’m not working, I value quiet time to restore and reset. After working 20 years on night shift (and genuinely loving it), I’ve always found comfort in the stillness of evenings. I enjoy reading articles, meaningful conversations, and decompressing with cooking shows or reality TV. It’s also fun testing new recipes that I find on social media. Having previously served as a medical foster for reduce animals created an experience that was deeply rewarding and continues to shape how I view compassion and advocacy.
A Note on the Journey
And while this might surprise some people, I stared this journey with no formal tech background at all. I simply saw a need that wasn’t being met and refused to let that stop me. Step by step, I learned what I need to learn and created a working prototype of the app and website- built with real families in mind and commitment to making more accessible.
Caregiving Involves a Lot of Moving Parts
Caregiving often means coordinating information across people, schedules, and responsibilities. Appointments, medications, notes, updates, and decisions are frequently shared among family members, friends, or trusted caregivers.
Having this information spread across texts, emails, notebooks, and multiple apps can make it harder to stay aligned.
Who We Are
CareHaven Connect was created to support caregivers and families who are navigating complex, often overwhelming responsibilities.
Care giving can feel isolating and exhausting, especially when information, communication, and daily tasks are scattered across too many places. CareHaven Connect brings those pieces together in one calm, organized space designed to make caregiving feel more manageable.
Our goal is to help caregivers stay connected, informed, and supported - without adding more stress or complexity. The platform is built with simplicity, clarity, and compassion in mind, recognizing that caregivers are doing the best they can in demanding circumstances.
CareHaven Connect is not a replacement for medical care or professional services. It is a supportive tool created to help caregivers feel less alone and more confident as they navigate their caregiving journey.
Developed by a nurse on the Gulf Coast, CareHeaven Connect reflects a deep respect for the caregivers and families it was created to serve.
Information is often stored in too many places.
Caregivers commonly rely on a mix of calendars, notes apps, message threads, and paper reminders. While each tool serves a purpose, switching between them can create unnecessary friction.
When information isn’t centralized, updates can be missed and communication can feel inefficient.
Shared Care Works Best With Shared Access
When more than one person is involved in care, having a shared space matters. Clear visibility helps everyone understand responsibilities, stay informed, and contribute appropriately.
A single, shared platform supports coordination while reducing the need for repeated explanations or updates.
CareHeaven Connect Brings everything together.
CareHaven Connect provides one organized space to manage care details and share information with the people you trust. Instead of juggling multiple tools, caregivers can keep key information accessible in one place.
The goal is simplicity, clarity, and ease of use — without unnecessary features or distractions.
Designed for Real-Life Care Coordination
CareHaven Connect is built to support how caregiving actually happens. It allows caregivers to share updates, organize information, and stay connected — whether care is provided daily or from a distance.
It’s practical, flexible, and designed to fit into everyday routines.
