Adult Foster Care: What It Is and How Caregivers Can Help

As they age, many seniors start needing assistance with daily living activities, like cooking and eating, personal grooming and hygiene, getting dressed, and keeping their medication organized.

They are not necessarily sick, and do not require the medical care that comes with living in a nursing home, but they can’t live independently in their own homes. This is where adult foster care comes into play.

The cost of adult foster care can be lower than assisted living or having professional caregivers come to your home. It depends on the state regulations, services the adult foster care can offer, and your loved one’s specific needs. 

Adult foster care is not just for the elderly. Foster care for disabled adults – anyone over the age of 18 with a physical or mental disability – is a way for these adults to live outside their home but still have the supervision and support they need. It is a good choice for families who, for whatever reason, cannot care for their loved ones, to have the peace of mind of knowing their loved one is cared for and safe.
