Where our data comes from

Washington Medicaid daily rates and room-and-board planning figures cite published DSHS and HCA tables with effective dates on those tools. Cost guides ask you to enter local quotes. We do not invent statistics or present estimates as official government numbers.

  • Government and state agency publications (for labeled rate tools)
  • Your provider quotes and contracts (for private-pay estimates)
  • Clear methodology and assumptions on every calculator

Frequently asked questions

What is an Adult Family Home?

An Adult Family Home is a licensed house that provides room, board, and personal care for a small number of adults. Washington AFHs are commonly licensed for up to six residents. Other states use names such as group home, adult foster home, or adult family care home.

How much does an Adult Family Home make?

There is no single typical income. Revenue depends on licensed beds, occupancy, private-pay and Medicaid rates, and expenses such as staffing. Use the profit calculator with your own numbers instead of a made-up average.

How do I calculate occupancy rate?

Occupancy rate is occupied beds divided by licensed beds, then multiplied by 100. Five residents in a 6-bed home is 83.3% occupancy. The occupancy calculator also estimates vacancy and potential lost gross revenue.

Are these calculators free?

Yes. You can use every calculator without creating an account, providing an email address, or viewing results behind a form.

Are the results accurate?

Results are estimates based on your assumptions. They are not appraisals, tax calculations, or guaranteed outcomes. Local rates, regulations, and resident needs can change the real numbers.

Can I use the tools if I am not in Washington?

Yes. Adult Family Homes and similar small residential care homes exist under different names in several states. Enter the rates, wages, and costs that apply where you operate.

Does this site list Adult Family Homes near me?

The Washington AFH Directory searches licensed homes from the public DSHS list by city, county, ZIP, or license. It is not a live vacancy board and not a ranking or referral of providers.

Is AFH Calculator a government website?

No. It is an independent planning site. Confirm licenses on the official DSHS facility lookup and confirm rates with your own records or published agency sources.
