Anyone may refer a potential client to Adult
Foster Care. Our clients are adults (over age 16) with disabilities
and a daily personal care need related to the disability.
What kind of disability
would qualify a client for the program? The disability may
be mental or physical. Many of our clients are already associated
with other agencies, and we work with the other agencies to
find the optimal setting for the individual client.
What defines a "personal care need?"
A personal care need is related to hygiene, dressing, grooming,
eating, and mobility. A disabled client may require physical
assistance with bathing or may require daily monitoring for
hygiene and appropriate dressing.
What is a typical client? Typically our
clients are individuals who are motivated to remain in the community
and whose needs are not so great as to preclude family placement.
How do I find out if someone I know might
be eligible for the program? Contact us for information
or a confidential telephone conversation. We are available to
answer your questions.
