Overview
An Adult Family Care Home (AFCH) is a small, residential care option for seniors who need assistance with daily living but prefer a more intimate, home-like environment instead of a larger assisted living facility. These homes typically house a small number of residents, allowing for personalized attention and a close-knit community.
Adult Family Care Homes provide assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, medication management, meal preparation, and mobility support while fostering a comfortable, family-like setting. Many seniors and their families choose AFCHs for their warm atmosphere, high level of care, and ability to create meaningful relationships with caregivers and fellow residents.
Ideal Candidate
Adult Family Care Homes are ideal for seniors who desire a more personalized and intimate living environment, while still receiving the assistance they need with daily activities. This may include individuals who:
- Require assistance with daily activities but do not need intensive medical care
- Prefer a smaller, home-like environment over a large assisted living community
- Enjoy personalized care with more one-on-one attention from caregivers
- Want to live in a calm, quiet setting with fewer residents
- Thrive in a family-style atmosphere where they can form close relationships
Adult Family Care Homes provide a warm, family-like atmosphere that allows seniors to receive personalized care in a more intimate setting.
What to Look for
When choosing an Adult Family Care Home, it is important to consider the following factors to ensure that the individual receives the care and support they need:
Qualified & Compassionate Caregivers
The home should be operated by licensed professionals who provide personalized, hands-on care with compassion and dedication.
Resident-to-Staff Ratio
Since AFCHs have fewer residents, look for a home that maintains a low resident-to-caregiver ratio to ensure each individual receives adequate attention.
Clean, Safe, & Comfortable Environment
The home should be well-maintained, clean, and designed for senior safety, with features such as accessible bathrooms, handrails, and emergency response systems.
Personalized Care Plans
Look for a home that offers customized care plans tailored to your loved one’s medical, dietary, and personal needs.
Social & Recreational Activities
A good Adult Family Care Home will encourage social engagement and enrichment activities to support seniors’ mental and emotional well-being.
