What People Are Saying

“JoAnn and her staff handled my loved ones decline with grace, compassion, and understanding, which was such a gift to me and my family. I cannot recommend Hiljay Homes highly enough. ”

— Jenny H.

“I can’t say enough about how grand it was to find such a special place for my sweetheart to live when I could no longer care for him all day and night. The first time I walked into Hiljay Homes with my son after visiting several places that day, I was thinking of the love and joy JoAnn and Hilary gave to their residents.”

— Martha jean

“I am a healthcare worker who frequently interacts with and collaborates with Hiljay Homes. I’ve never encountered another adult family home that is so thorough, knowledgeable, and advocates for their patients at the level that they do. It’s the only place I’d want a loved one or myself to be. JoAnn is a miracle worker. She’s actually a nurse (unlike 99% of adult family home employees or owners) which in my opinion should be an absolute requirement.”

Understanding the advantages of an adult family home

Smaller, More Intimate Setting
Adult family homes have 8 or fewer residents. This provides an opportunity for
residents to form closer relationships with providers, caregivers, and other residents.

Higher Staff to Resident Ratio & Quicker Response Times
More one-on-one attention with ratio of 1:6, 2:6, or 2:8 depending on home. Care needs
are addressed immediately, there are no long waits for assistance.

True Home-Like Environment
Adult Family Homes are in residential neighborhoods; they provide a cozy, familiar
atmosphere that allows for less anxiety and a smaller environment to navigate.

Consistent Staffing
Lower staff turnover means residents benefit from consistent care, familiar faces, and
stronger relationships built on trust.

Transparent Pricing
Offering straightforward pricing that includes both rent and care. Some also allow
residents to spend down to Medicaid when private funds are exhausted.

Customized Routines & Flexibility
Meals, sleep, and activities can be tailored to each resident's preferences, unlike the
more rigid structure often found in larger corporate settings.

Great Option For More Complex Needs
Some may choose to specialize in one area of care such as dementia, Parkinson's disease,
or complex medical conditions which allows them to develop deep expertise & tailored support.

Working Together for Complete Care
Through trusted partnerships with dedicated professionals, we provide a consistent and
compassionate continuum of care that adapts to each resident's changing needs.
