ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITY MARYSVILLE | RETIREMENT & SENIOR CARE DONE RIGHT
What is the difference between an Adult Family Home and an Assisted Living Facility?
The term “Assisted Living” may be more widely known and more broadly defined than Adult Family Home. Both can be good options for your loved one, but there are a few key differences when choosing a place for your senior to call home. Below, here are few differences in general:
| Adult Family Home | Assisted Living Facility |
| Maximum of six residents | May have hundreds of residents |
| More personalized care and interaction | Some medical and ADL care available |
| Small group and independent activities available | Often have large group activities and entertainment available |
| Homes in regular neighborhoods | Apartment-style facilities |
| More of a “family” feel | More of a “community” feel |
With homes in the community of Marysville, MyAFH runs a powerful network of senior home care communities, with flexibility for your loved one's specific needs. You may not be aware that in Marysville, large nursing homes, hospitals or an independent retirement community village are not your only choices. Adult family homes are an alternative option that may be perfect for your senior's needs for assisted living in Marysville!
Senior Living Marysville
The MyAFH owned assisted living home in Marysville, Washington is built to help seniors with memory conditions like Alzheimer's, along with mental health issues and developmental issues. Our staff can easily adjust and customize their assistance to what your senior specifically requires.
Assisted Living can be a good option for more active seniors who need minimal medical care and want the feeling of a larger community that comes with this type of facility. While Adult Family Homes are very versatile; there are many that also offer a lot of independence for senior adults who are still highly capable, while others may offer greater levels of medical care and assistance for those who need it, all in a small family home setting.

You may still have questions about MyAFH’s adult family homes vs. nursing homes in Seattle. Here are a few frequently asked questions:
What is the difference between an Adult Family Home and a Nursing Home?
An Adult Family Home provides more personalized care in a more home-like setting, while Nursing Homes are larger facilities that operate more like hospitals, with close care and supervision for residents.

Are there services that an Adult Family Home does not provide?
Adult Family Homes are equipped to provide a wide range of services for the elderly. Most notable is the 24 hour care, with assistance of all activities of everyday living. Most homes provide assistance for Dementia and Mental Health. Some homes are RN owned and operated.
How much care should my loved one anticipate from an Adult Family Home?
Adult family Homes provide as much or as little care as the resident requires. Residents who are more independent will be encouraged to use their abilities while those needing assistance will be helped more.
