Care that feels like family

“At Amber Grove, we believe every senior deserves compassionate, individualized care in a home that feels like family.”

Elena Martinez, founder of Amber Grove

A house that became a home

Amber Grove began in 2014, when founder Elena Martinez turned her family's craftsman-style house into a licensed six-bed residential care home. After caring for her own mother through Alzheimer's, Elena wanted a place where seniors could receive the calm, patient attention she'd hoped to find — served in a small home, at a real kitchen table, not a facility.

A decade later, our philosophy hasn't changed: we don't just care for residents — we care about them. We know their stories, their favorite meals, their grandchildren's names. That's what makes Amber Grove different.

Caregivers & Cooks

A close-knit team of four caregivers and one cook — many with us for years — ensures a familiar face is always nearby.

We keep our home small so we can know each resident deeply. That is the whole idea.
