Consolidated Adult Foster Care Ruleset

The Adult Foster Care (AFC) single ruleset continues to move through the rule promulgation process. Here is an overview of the most significant changes. The new rules consolidate all AFC license rules into one set. Currently, providers follow the specific administrative rules for each sized home, ranging from Family Homes up to Congregate Homes. Going forward, creating one set of consolidated rule enables the department to eliminate redundancy, reducing the rule set from 120 pages and 206 rules to 32 pages and 72 rules. The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affair’s goal is to have the rules in place by the end of 2025. HCAM will continue to update you as this process continues.
