Who holds the license for Ruta's Home Care?
The licensee of record is Beatrice Nzayisenga, and it is the only home in our five-county area under that licensee name.
With one home under this licensee, ask who the administrator reports to and who is on call nights and weekends.
Does Ruta's Home Care accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?
Not according to the state file. LARA lists Ruta's Home Care as serving physically handicapped, developmentally disabled, mentally ill, aged, and traumatic brain injury, without the Alzheimer's designation.
For a resident whose memory is stable this may not matter. If it is changing, compare Ruta's Home Care with homes on the memory care list before you commit.
What did LARA's most recent inspection of Ruta's Home Care find?
LARA's latest renewal licensing study of Ruta's Home Care, published May 23, 2025 after an on-site inspection on April 23, 2025, established 2 rule violations, citing R 400.14204 (Direct care staff; qualifications and training) and R 400.14312 (Resident medications).
A renewal study that establishes violations normally ends with LARA recommending renewal contingent on an acceptable corrective action plan from the licensee. Ask the home for that plan and what changed.

What should families ask Ruta's Home Care before choosing it?
Start with the state record: ask Ruta's Home Care about anything in its LARA reports, then about cost, staffing and what would force a move.
- LARA established this allegation: “Staff at the facility did not administer Resident A’s medications/special medical procedures as prescribed by the healthcare provider.” What changed afterward, and can we see the corrective action plan?
- The last renewal cited R 400.14204 (direct care staff; qualifications and training). How was it corrected?
- If memory loss progresses, at what point would the home ask for a move, and how much notice is given?
- What is the all-in monthly cost at the current care level, and what triggers a higher rate?
- Does the licensee or a manager live in or work on site, and who covers when they are away?
