Adult Foster Care
Adult Foster Care Program Overview
Adult foster care is a licensed service for individuals age 18 and over that have a disability or functional impairment, are not able to live independently, and prefer to live in a community-based, home-like setting. Adult foster care providers offer food, lodging, protection, supervision, and household services.
There are two types of adult foster care providers:
- Family: The home is the primary residence of the license holder and the license holder is the primary caregiver.
- Corporate: The license holder is not required to live in the home or provide the majority of care. These homes typically have shift staff and are operated by corporations. There is currently a statewide moratorium on the development of new corporate adult foster care homes.
