Explain the difference between residential care and registered child care homes?
A. Residential Care is care provided to children 24 hours a day outside the child’s own home in the absence of a child’s parent. The operation becomes the child’s residence. Residential Operations include operations such as foster homes or residential treatment centers. A registered child care home provides care in the caregiver’s own residence for less than 24 hours per day. The child does not live at the caregiver’s home.
