What's Typically Included

Adult family homes in Washington are licensed private residences serving up to six residents. The cost generally covers room and board, three daily meals, personal care (bathing, dressing, medication management), and 24-hour supervision. Specialty services — such as memory care, behavioral health support, or enhanced nursing — are contracted separately at higher Medicaid rates and may add to private-pay costs.

Because AFHs are smaller and often owner-operated, services tend to be more individualized. However, availability and amenities vary significantly by home — tour and ask specifically about staffing ratios and what the base rate includes.
