We need your help to create fair rates.
Right now, the Adult Family Home Council is preparing for two important projects that could result in increases to AFH reimbursement — and we need your help to advocate for rates that accurately reflect the costs of resident care.
Action 1: Submit Your Disclosure of Charges to the AFH Council
Your Council is about to enter a new round of contract negotiations with the state related to Medicaid reimbursement. Our goal is to use this opportunity to continue moving AFH Medicaid rates in a positive direction.
In order to demonstrate the current and true costs of adult family home services, we are asking providers to share their home’s Disclosure of Charges Form with us. Your home’s specific information will not be shared or called out, but will be used to determine the average costs and services currently charged in our sector. We will then use this data as evidence of the need for fair reimbursement rates in our contract negotiations.
To help us advocate for fair reimbursement rates, please be sure your Disclosure of Charges is current and upload a copy using the form below. You can learn more about our contract negotiation process here.
Action 2: Join the Payment Maximums Stakeholder Forum
WA CARES, the public long-term care insurance benefit, will begin paying benefits in July of 2026. By December of 2025, their Long-Term Services & Supports Trust Commission must make recommendations establishing rate maximums for eligible WA CARES providers, including adult family homes. By law, the commission must include stakeholders in their process to make these recommendations.
The stakeholder forum is set for March 21 from 9:30am – 11:00am. Those interested in attending can register for the Zoom meeting at this link.

So, stress the following to the state legislators. Two nights at a Motel 6 in Wenatchee Washington is 170.00 dollars. That’s 85.00 dollars a night and they don’t take people to the toilet and all that entails, feed them, care for them, entertain them, do their Landry, console their families, and more.
I’ll bet the legislators who determine what we get paid would’t work for that. SHAME ON THEM!!!!! Shame on them for the INSULT. Do the math, I pay my help 21.00 dollars an hour because no care givers want to work for 15-16 dollars an hour. I don’t blame them. Again 21.00 dollars an hour for 8 hours is 168.00 dollars per shift OH DONT FORGET THE NIGHT SHIFT AND SWING, SO, FOR ME TO PAY 24 HOUR CARE GIVING THATS THREE 8 HOUR SHIFTS 504.00 DOLLARS.
SHAME ON THE LEGISLATORS
LESS THAN MOTEL 6 RATES.
I’LL BET THOSE WHO DETERMIN WHAT AFH’S GET PAID WOULDNT EVEN CONSIDER STAYING AT A MOTEL 6… SHAME, SHAME ON THEM……
