What Is WABO? The Technical Guide for Washington Adult Family Homes

Quick Answer

What does the WABO Adult Family Home building inspection checklist cover?

The checklist addresses resident bedroom exits and classifications, emergency escape windows, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, doors and hardware, ramps and landings, stairs and handrails, bathroom grab bars, shower dimensions, and fire access and water supply. A passed checklist confirms the building meets AFH code requirements, but it is not the same as a DSHS license — DSHS separately decides whether the provider and home qualify for licensing.
