Frequently Asked Questions
What is a private pay adult family home?
A private pay home is one where residents (or their families) pay directly for care, rather than relying on Medicaid. Most adult family homes in Washington accept private pay, and many are private-pay only — meaning more placement options and often shorter wait times.
How much does a private pay adult family home cost in Washington?
Private pay rates typically range from $4,500 to $9,000+ per month depending on care level, location, and amenities. Homes set their own rates and can adjust them as care needs change. Costs are usually all-inclusive of room, meals, and personal care.
Why choose private pay over Medicaid?
Private pay gives you the widest selection of homes — many of the best-rated, smallest, and most personalized homes don't accept Medicaid. You also avoid the DSHS eligibility process and have more flexibility if care needs change quickly.
Can a resident switch from private pay to Medicaid later?
Sometimes — but only if the home holds an active DSHS Medicaid contract. Many private-pay-only homes will ask a resident to move once funds run out. If long-term Medicaid coverage matters, confirm the home's contract status before placement.
