Sound familiar?

Finding care shouldn't feel this hard.

Here's what the process looks like everywhere else — and what we built instead.

The old way

Agencies earn when they place you

Referral fees run $4,000–$8,000 per placement — their incentive is a filled bed, not the right fit.

Listings go stale overnight

The bed you found online filled two weeks ago. No one updated it. You start over.

Reviews from nobody

Anonymous star ratings with no context — no way to know if they ever placed someone there.

No one checks the license

A lapsed license can stay posted for months. You find out after you've already fallen in love with the place.

With Ovela

Zero fees. Zero conflict.

Free for families — no commissions, no referral cuts. Homes earn their spot on merit.

Live vacancy, updated daily

Operators manage their own listings. That pulsing green dot means open right now.

Verified family reviews only

Every review is from a confirmed family member who actually placed a loved one there.

Nightly license verification

We check every listing against state databases every night. License lapses? Listing removed — before you ever see it.

Our standard

The only directory with nightly license verification.

Every home listed on Ovela is checked against official state licensing databases every single night. If a license expires, gets suspended, or is revoked — the listing is automatically removed before you ever see it. No other care directory does this.

From real families

They've been where you are.

Every review on Ovela is written by a verified family member — no anonymous posts, no paid ratings.

Real care. Real homes. Real families.

Found a home in 2 days

After three weeks of cold-calling facilities and getting handed off to sales reps, I found the right home for my mom in two days on Ovela. No one called me trying to earn a commission. I just found the home, called them directly, and she moved in a week later.

Dad is happy — for the first time

What I didn't realize until I used Ovela was how different a small 6-bed home is from a nursing facility. Dad is actually happy now. The reviews on here are real — you can tell they're from people who actually went through this, not paid reviewers.

No agency pushing us anywhere

I was about to go with a placement agency when my sister mentioned Ovela. The agency would have taken a cut from whatever home we chose — meaning they had every reason to push the most expensive option. Ovela just shows you the homes and gets out of the way.

How it works

Three steps. No account required. No phone calls unless you want them.

Enter your city or zip and filter by care type, distance, and availability. See real photos and live vacancy status — no more calling to find out a bed filled last week.

02

Read real reviews

Every review is written by a verified family member who placed a loved one in that home. No anonymous ratings, no incentivized reviews.

03

Contact directly

Reach the operator directly — no middleman, no commission, no one earning a referral fee. Just an honest conversation with the people who will care for your loved one.
