Adult Family Home Council

Call Directions Website Contact the organization

Adult Family Home Council The Adult Family Home Council exists to improve the lives & well-being of vulnerable adults through the support of Adult Family Home Providers.

There are over 3,800 adult family homes across the state. Each home is independently licensed and operated. An adult family home can serve between 2 and 8 residents. All adult family homes provide some essential services including assistance with activities of daily living, meals, laundry and more. Some adult family homes are operated by nurses or other appropriate licensed staff to support a resident’s needs. The Adult Family Home Council is a mission driven member organization formed in 1995 providing adult family home providers with resources and training covering all aspects of their business. The Adult Family Home Council supports 11 regional chapters that conduct regular meetings, continuing education and networking opportunities. The Adult Family Home Council also advocates on behalf of AFH providers with the state legislature, the Department of Social and Health Services, as a member of the Washington State Senior Citizen’s Lobby, and is the exclusively recognized representative of adult family homes for purposes of collective bargaining.

This week at AFHC:

Base daily rates under the 2025-27 agreement are 15% to 18% higher than they were under the last one. Your membership helps fund the bargaining, legal support and advocacy behind that.

We also met with Wellpoint alongside providers about payment delays. Wellpoint acknowledged gaps in payment and communication and described a new, more automated claims system. Not every payment issue is resolved yet, so here is where you can get help:

Waiting months on Wellpoint payments? You're not alone.

This week, AFHC and a group of providers met with Wellpoint about payment delays. Wellpoint acknowledged gaps in its payment process and communication, and it's moving to a more automated claims system. That won't settle every outstanding payment, so we've set up two ways to get help:

Bylaw update: every AFHC member gets a voice.

AFHC is reviewing its bylaws to strengthen transparency, accountability and how providers are represented across the state.

A group of providers brought forward their own recommendations. We met with them on October 2, and a follow-up meeting on November 19 will look at which changes are appropriate and feasible.

Before any final decisions, we’ll open a public comment period so every member can review the proposed changes and share feedback. Details will follow as the review moves forward.

A stronger Council starts with an engaged membership.
