Adult Family Home Licensure
WA DSHS HCLA Residential Care Services
Adult Family Homes are private homes licensed by DSHS Residential Care Services to care for up to six residents who are not related to the operator. They provide a room, meals, laundry, needed supervision, and needed help with daily activities, personal care, and social services. As of January 1, 2024, the DSHS orientation class is no longer required. Before opening, a prospective operator must finish an Adult Family Home Administrator Training class of at least 54 hours, along with CPR and First Aid, Food Safety, and caregiving experience requirements, then submit a complete application packet with a building inspection using the AFH Initial Inspection Preparation Checklist (form DSHS 10-695).
