Adult Family Homes

An Adult Family Home can be a comfort zone for the senior who enjoys a home-type environment with the same familiar interactions day-in and day-out among a small group of seniors and their care provider(s).

Adult Family Homes and their care providers are as diverse as each region within the State. Some are run by families with children, couples or a single person. The owner of the home chooses the level of care provided in the home and receives the training needed. Additional employees may be hired. In some homes multiple languages are spoken, some read theFind Adult Foster Care in Nevada newpaper each morning with their residents, while others offer music therapy, bible study and other varied activities, adjusting them to the capabilities of their clients. Some even allow small pets. In Nevada these homes are licensed as Adult Group Homes (AGC)
