What types of support do Adult Foster Care providers receive?
A minimum room and board payment is made to providers per month which is set by the State. In addition, a difficulty of care rating is often justified. Medical and dental costs are covered through Medical Assistance or other medical insurance, and are not the responsibility of the Adult Foster Care provider. Each resident has a placement case manager, and the Adult Foster Care provider has a licensing social worker to help them with problems and find resources to meet the residents’ needs. Adult Foster Care providers participate in on-going training/support groups and may become a part of Local, State, and National Foster Parent Associations.
