A Home Where Your Loved One Is Truly Known.
Better Life Adult Family Home is a small, six-bedroom home where every resident receives the gentle, individualized attention they deserve. From caregivers who speak their language, prepare familiar meals, and treat them like family.
Family Owned
Run by Abi Bezu and her family. Not a corporate chain. Decisions made with heart.
Multilingual Care
Caregivers fluent in English and Amharic, with care plans built around each resident's language and cultural traditions.
Specialized Care
Memory, mental health, and developmental support; beyond standard senior care.
Wheelchair Accessible
Wide doorways, grab bars, roll-in showers, and step-free paths throughout the home, garden, and patio.
Built on the Belief That Aging Shouldn't Mean Losing the Comforts of Family Life.
Founded by Abi Bezu, Better Life is the home she built for the families she serves, the kind of place she'd want for her own loved ones. Six private rooms, a garden patio, the smells of home cooking and a caregiver who knows your father's favorite song and your mother's preferred tea.
We specialize in dementia care, mental health support, and developmental disabilities: areas that demand patience, training, and the kind of attention you can only give in a small home. Our care isn't standardized. It's personalized, one resident at a time.
Specialized Care, Delivered Like Family
Twelve services delivered in a single small home, so each resident gets care that's tailored, not transactional.
24/7 Personal Care
Caregivers awake and on duty around the clock, helping with bathing, dressing, mobility, and gentle company at every hour.

Learn moreYour Loved One Will Feel Known Here.
Every family carries its own version of home. We learn yours. Tell us what your mother sings while she cooks, what tea your father takes after dinner, what holidays the family observes, what language feels easiest at the end of a long day. We bring it all into our kitchen and into our days.
Our caregivers are multilingual with English proficiency, and our home routinely welcomes elders who've been waiting a long time to be understood again. But the same care extends to every resident, whatever background, whatever language, whatever the comforts of home look like for them.
What This Looks Like Day-To-Day
- Morning greetings in each resident's preferred language
- Familiar home cooking, including Ethiopian dishes when wanted
- Music, prayer, and traditions from the resident's own life
- Family welcomed any time of day or night
- Cultural and religious holidays observed in-home
- Pets welcome too, because they're family

See more →What Families Tell Us
When we found Better Life, my mother had stopped eating at her last home. Within two weeks here, she was asking for shiro and laughing with the caregivers in Amharic. We didn't realize how much she had missed simply being understood.
My dad has dementia, and I was terrified about placement. Abi sat with me for two hours on my first visit and just listened. They take the time to learn who he was, not just who he is now. That meant everything.
