An AFH in Washington state stands for 

Adult Family Home, which is a licensed residential home providing care for up to six non-related residents in a family-like setting. These homes offer room, board, personal care, supervision, and help with daily activities, regulated by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS). They provide a more intimate alternative to large assisted living facilities. 

In Washington state, the cost of living in an Adult Family Home (AFH) can vary based on the home's location and the level of care needed. The monthly rate is determined by the provider ( AFH owner ) upon reviewing all the care needs of the resident. A nursing assessment will also be necessary during the admission process. This assesment will include all the care needs and medical history. If you need help finding a nurse assesor send us an email.
