A Home, Not a Facility.
Where your loved one receives personalized care, genuine warmth, and the dignity of a real home — with only six residents and dedicated caregivers.
Why Families Choose Us
Small enough to feel like home.
Attentive enough to feel like family.
A Real Home, Not a Facility
Only six residents in a beautiful single-story home. Every person is known, valued, and cared for personally.
Genuine One-on-One Attention
Our caregivers have the time to truly know each resident — their routines, preferences, and the stories that make them smile.
Personalized Care Plans
Every plan is tailored to the individual — their health needs, daily rhythms, and what brings them comfort.
Caregivers Chosen for Compassion
Our team isn't just trained — they're chosen for their patience, warmth, and genuine love for elder care.
Safe & Comfortable Environment
A secure, well-maintained home where families can feel confident their loved one is protected and at peace.
Flexible, Evolving Support
From daily assistance to optional 24/7 care, we adapt our support as each resident's needs change over time.
You're Not Alone
You don't have to carry this alone anymore.
We understand the weight you carry. The sleepless nights wondering if your mother is safe. The guilt of not being able to be there every moment. The fear of placing her somewhere cold and unfamiliar.
That's exactly why Tessa's Place exists. We created a home — not a facility — where your loved one wakes up in a bright, comfortable room, enjoys fresh home-cooked meals at a family dining table, and spends their days surrounded by people who genuinely care.
With only six residents, we don't just provide care — we build relationships. Our caregivers know your loved one's favorite morning routine, their preferred afternoon snack, the stories that make them smile.
Imagine this as an extension of your home, with dedicated support every day. That's the peace of mind we offer.

From Our Families
Words that mean everything to us.
When we first visited Tessa's Place, I cried — not from sadness, but from relief. After months of searching, we finally found a place that felt like home. My mother smiles every day now, and the caregivers treat her like she's their own family.
Maria L.
Daughter of Resident
We were terrified of putting Dad in a 'facility.' But Tessa's Place isn't that. It's a real home with real people who genuinely care. The small size means he gets so much personal attention. He's happier here than he's been in years.
David & Susan R.
Son & Daughter-in-Law of Resident
The home-cooked meals, the beautiful rooms, the warm caregivers — everything exceeded our expectations. My grandmother has dementia, and the patience and love they show her every single day gives our whole family peace of mind.
