Also known as family care homes, these are single-family residences that care for up to two long-term care clients. These residences provide a protective, supportive, family life environment within a family home and are an alternative to admission to a nursing home facility. The Canadian government through the health department pays the family for the care of these clients. See Chapter 4 for more information on this kind of care.

In the US, adult family homes are the equivalent of Canadian family care homes. Adult family homes are privately owned, licensed, and regulated by the State. Medicaid or private pay will pay for the care.
