When independent living is no longer possible, an Adult Family Home or Assisted Living Facility is a wonderful place to call home. Better Living Lifestyle will help you find the best match for your clinical, social, geographical and financial needs. To begin this process, we feel it is extremely important to educate our clients on the differences between assisted living facilities and adult family homes.
Assisted Living Facilities
Assisted Living Facilities are for people needing assistance with activities of daily living, but living as independently as possible for as long as possible in an apartment setting. The focus is on providing a healthy social environment and preventing social isolation. Assisted Living Facilities typically are not licensed to give nursing care. If the senior citizen needs 24-hour specialized care, and must be watch day and night, or you believe they will in the future, an Adult Family Home is your best option.

Adult Family Home
An Adult Family Home is licensed by the state of Washington and Department of Social and Health Services and can provide housing and care for up to 6 adults in a residential neighborhood. A state Licensor, usually an registered nurse, is assigned to each home, and will visit the Adult Family Home regularly for patient care/facility review. Adult Family Home providers ensure that their staff are competent and trained to perform all appropriate services and specialized care that is needed by each resident. Some homes are managed by registered or practical nurses.
