Definition
安家 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to settle down and set up a home'. The verb 安 and the object 家 can be split when inserting measure words or complements, e.g., 安一个家 ('set up a home'). It can also mean 'to provide for one's family's welfare'. When not separated, it functions as a single unit.
