No national figure: adult family homes are a Washington license type, so there is no national median to compare.
Type a city or county. You'll get the DSHS Medicaid rate range for that county (what the state pays a home per day and per month, by care level), a typical private-pay range where one has been reviewed, and how many licensed homes are there.
Estimate. No survey covers adult family home private-pay rates; each home sets its own. DSHS Medicaid rates work out to about $4,030–$8,495 a month depending on county and care level. Washington medians from the CareScout Cost of Care Survey, 2025 data (published March 2026); memory care, adult family home, independent living and CCRC figures are estimates. Includes a 3.5% yearly increase in costs. Actual prices vary by community and level of care.
