Why we like it

Ayanna Home Care, operating as Elite Care Homes, is a 6-bed assisted living home at 5602 Whitewood Avenue in Lakewood, near Mayfair Park. The home provides round-the-clock care with bilingual English and Spanish-speaking caregivers.

Services cover the full spectrum of daily living assistance including medication management, meal preparation, bathing support, and coordination with healthcare providers. The operation offers flexible payment plans with no credit check required.

Bilingual caregiving team
Staff speaks both English and Spanish, which is a meaningful quality-of-life detail for Spanish-speaking residents who may feel more comfortable communicating in their native language, especially as cognitive abilities change.
Flexible payment options
Elite Care Homes offers payment plans with no credit check required. This accessibility is uncommon and can make a significant difference for families navigating the financial strain of assisted living.
Residential neighborhood near Mayfair Park
Located in a quiet Lakewood neighborhood near a park, this feels like a residential home, not a facility. The neighborhood setting provides a calm, familiar environment for daily living.
Serious safety concerns
9 serious and 28 minor citations across 9 state inspections. Read the state's full inspection reports and press on what's been fixed before deciding.
Only 4 years of operation
Licensed in August 2021, this is a relatively new operation. The higher-than-average citation count in a short time period makes it especially important to visit, ask pointed questions, and check recent inspection reports.
Limited detail about specialized care
The website mentions Alzheimer's and dementia care but doesn't describe specific programming, staff training, or care protocols. If your loved one has cognitive decline, push for specifics on how their memory care approach actually works day-to-day.
