Ovella Living is a directory — not an agency. Families find homes for free. Operators and placement agents pay flat — and keep everything they earn.
Who it's for
Build your profile with photos, pricing, and services. Families and placement agents find you directly. Pay a flat monthly rate — no placement fees, no agency taking a cut.
$49/mo
Flat rate · No placement fees · No contracts
Search licensed adult family homes by location, care type, bed availability, and payment options. Contact operators directly from the listing.
We don't place families — you do. Ovella gives you real-time inventory, direct operator contact info, and a client CRM so you can do more of what you're good at. No per-placement fees. No referral network competing for your clients.
The model
Every party with a financial incentive to influence your decision is removed.
Upload photos, set pricing, list services, and update bed availability. You own and control your listing entirely.
Every home is cross-checked against state licensing databases each night. Lapses are flagged immediately — families always see current status.
Search, filter, and reach out straight from the listing.

FAQ
Yes — completely free. Families can search, view all listing details, read reviews, and contact operators at no cost, now and always. We are funded by flat-rate subscriptions from operators and agents.
A Place for Mom is a referral platform — they route families to their own network and take a cut of every placement. They have their own placement agents. Ovella doesn't. We're a search directory: families find homes directly, operators pay a flat monthly subscription, and placement agents use us as a tool. We have no stake in where your loved one lands — and no financial incentive to steer you anywhere.
Every night, our system cross-checks each listed home against state licensing databases. If a license lapses or expires, the listing is flagged immediately. Every active listing shows a verified license badge.
No. Families can search, filter, and view all listing details with no account required.
No contracts. Month-to-month. Cancel anytime from your dashboard. Operators and agents both start with a 7-day free trial — if you cancel before the trial ends, you pay nothing.
