Overview
An Adult Family Home (AFH) is a residential home licensed to care for up to six elder residents. All adult family homes provide housing and meals (room and board) and assume general responsibilities for the safety and care of the residents. What additional services are offered is different for each home and may include varying levels of assistance with personal care, nursing care (a nurse available on a full or part-time basis), and/or assistance with administration of medications. Some AFH’s also provide specialized care to people living with developmental disabilities, dementia and/or mental illness.
