An Adult Family Home (AFH) is more than just a care facility—it is a home for its residents. Every individual in an AFH deserves to be treated with respect, dignity, and compassion, regardless of their age, health condition, or cognitive ability. A culture of respect ensures that residents feel valued, safe, and empowered, which ultimately enhances their emotional well-being and quality of life.
