Why Adult Family Homes Are a Smart Alternative to Nursing Homes

When your loved one starts needing daily care, the first thought might be a nursing home or assisted living facility. But there’s a more personal option: Adult Family Homes (AFHs).

What Is an Adult Family Home?

An AFH is a licensed private home where trained caregivers support up to six residents with:

  • Bathing, dressing, meals
  • Medication management
  • Mobility and memory care

It’s ideal for seniors who need help but still want a peaceful, homey environment.

Why Choose an AFH Over a Facility?

  • Personalized care — Fewer residents mean more one-on-one support.
  • Home atmosphere — Cozy rooms, familiar routines, and a calm setting.
  • 24/7 supervision — Trained staff always available.
  • Emotional comfort — Real relationships, not just rotations.
