Finding care shouldn't be a second full-time job.
We built Ovella Living because families in crisis deserve a clear, honest way to find the right home, not a maze of government databases, unanswered calls, and commission-hungry brokers.
Care found. Trust earned.
The family behind Ovella.
Caregiving is in our roots. We grew up in the industry, watching our parents run their own adult family homes and pour everything into caring for others. We saw firsthand how hard it can be for families to find the right home — and how easily good providers get lost in a maze of outdated databases and commission-driven brokers.
So we built the honest, transparent directory we always wished existed: real homes, real reviews, families and providers connecting directly. No middlemen. No commissions. Just care, found.
— The Ovella Living team
The system was built for bureaucrats, not families.
When a parent has a fall, a stroke, or a dementia diagnosis, families suddenly need to find appropriate care fast. What they find instead are state databases designed for compliance auditors, and a placement industry where every referral comes with a hidden commission.
Small care homes, the kind where one caregiver knows your mother by name, are nearly invisible online. They can't afford big marketing budgets. They rely on word of mouth. Families who would love them never find them.
That gap is what Ovella Living is closing.
Government databases are broken
State licensing portals are outdated, hard to search, and give families no way to compare quality or read real reviews.
Placement brokers have conflicts of interest
Most placement agencies earn commissions from facilities, which means their incentive is to fill beds, not find the right fit for your family.
Small homes are invisible
The best care homes in your neighborhood, run by dedicated caregivers with real capacity, have no way to reach the families who need them.
A direct line between families and the homes that can help them.
Ovella Living is a searchable directory of licensed adult care homes. Families browse for free, read real reviews, and contact homes directly, no broker, no referral fee, no runaround.
Operators list their homes for a flat monthly subscription. We verify their license, make their listing visible to families actively searching in their area, and give them tools to manage inquiries and showcase what makes their home special.
