An Adult Family Home (AFH) is a small, residential care setting where seniors receive personalized, compassionate care in a cozy, home-like environment. Unlike larger assisted living facilities or nursing homes, AFHs are designed to feel more intimate and family-oriented, typically housing no more than 6 residents. This allows caregivers to offer more focused, one-on-one attention and truly get to know the residents’ needs, preferences, and routines.

 

In contrast, larger facilities often struggle to provide this level of individual care and attention due to a higher resident-to-staff ratio. If your loved one thrives in smaller, more personal settings, an AFH could be the perfect fit—offering them comfort, safety, and dignity in a beautiful home environment. Please shoot us a call if you have any other questions!

Yes, our retreat is a private pay home, which means that residents or their families are responsible for covering the cost of care directly, without relying on state assistance programs such as Medicaid.

 

Residents CAN transition to state assistance (Medicaid) after a period of three years with proper notice. This arrangement allows families time to plan for the future and ensures that your loved one can continue receiving the care they need in a stable environment even if their financial situation changes. We encourage families to discuss this option with us early on, so we can help ensure a smooth transition if needed.

No, we are not a traditional 24/7 facility in the sense of having round-the-clock staff on call. However, our live-in caregivers are present on-site and available to assist residents in case of night-time needs, such as bathroom assistance, or emergencies that may arise outside regular care hours.

 

Our live-in caregivers provide a unique, personalized service that is often more intimate than what you might find in larger facilities with rotating staff. They are deeply familiar with each resident’s individual needs and routines, ensuring that immediate help (via 24/7 pagers) is available for any unexpected situations, including irregular health issues that might occur during the night.

 

While we don’t offer dedicated, professional 24/7 nursing staff, the presence of our live-in caregivers creates a reassuring, homely environment with continuous supervision and a more customized response to unusual circumstances. This offers a level of attentiveness and comfort that many families prefer over the more impersonal, large-scale care provided at facilities with full 24/7 staffing.
