Adult Family Home Placement

Adult family homes are licensed residential homes that care for up to eight non-related residents. Because of their size, they often provide a higher caregiver-to-resident ratio than larger assisted living communities.

For some families, this smaller setting offers comfort, familiarity, and more individualized attention.

Adult family homes typically provide:

• 24-hour supervision and support
• A higher level of hands-on care than traditional assisted living
• Assistance with activities of daily living
• Meal preparation and housekeeping
• A home-like environment with fewer residents
   

These settings are often recommended for individuals who are a fall risk, require more consistent supervision, or are receiving hospice care.

Choosing the right adult family home requires careful evaluation. Each home is independently operated, and care quality, staffing, and environment can vary significantly.
