Because of the increasing costs of assisted living facilities, many people and their families are faced with four difficult options:
No placement and instead remain in a dangerous environment
Remain on the waiting list for an available bed
Placement in distant localities away from friends and family
Living with a relative, and jeopardizing their employment and ability to support their families
Adult Foster Care is another solution to the lack of available facilities to meet the needs of elderly or disabled persons. There are approved homes in the community who are prepared to provide
Meals
Room and Board
Medication management
Minimal personal care
Supervision
Companionship and friendship
These homes are located in or around Montgomery County, ensuring that a person will never have to travel too far from home. They will still be allowed to exercise their independence to the greatest degree possible, remaining in a home setting as opposed to a facility.
Because this program is through the Department of Social Services, a complete continuum of care is the goal. Placements are monitored by a social worker, who is there to help locate other available services needed as well as ensure that the placement is meeting the needs of all parties.
