The process

How families find care on Ovella Living

01

Search by what matters to you

Filter by city, care type, bed availability, and accepted payment options including Medicaid. Every result is a real, licensed home — ranked by availability and fit.

02

Read reviews from real families

Every review is written by a family who placed a loved one in that home. Reviews are email-confirmed and acknowledged by the care provider before they go live. No anonymous posts, no incentivized feedback.

03

Contact the care provider directly

Call or email straight from the listing. No call centers, no waiting for a sales rep to relay your message. The person who runs the home picks up the phone.

04

A community of licensed care providers

Every home on Ovella Living is operated by a licensed care provider. Browse real listings, read family reviews, and connect directly with the people running the home.

Questions

Common questions from families

Is it really free for families?

Yes, completely. Searching, reading reviews, and contacting care providers costs nothing now and will never cost anything. We are funded by flat-rate subscriptions from the care providers who list their homes on Ovella Living.

What types of care are listed?

Ovella Living lists licensed adult family homes and residential care facilities. This includes memory and dementia care, hospice care, respite care, and general assisted living. You can filter by care type when you search.

How do I know the reviews are real?

Every reviewer must confirm their email address before their review is published. Reviews are also acknowledged by the care provider, meaning the home has seen and responded to the feedback. No anonymous posts, no unconfirmed reviews.

What does the verified license badge mean?

It means Ovella Living has confirmed that home's license is currently active in its state's official licensing database. We check every listing every night. If a license lapses, the badge is removed immediately.
