Adult Foster Care & Homes for
the Aged
|
|
Adult Foster Care (AFC) is an option
of care whose hallmark is that of a small "family"
setting for up to a limited number of individuals. State
regulations govern the maximum number of individuals who may
reside within an Adult Foster Care setting. In Michigan, an
Adult Foster Care Home is restricted to serving no more than 20
adults at any one time. Adult Foster Care facilities offer
personal care assistance with eating, bathing, dressing and
grooming. The facilities also provide medication management as
well as general supervision on a 24-hour basis. In Michigan,
Adult Foster Care homes serve individuals who have developmental
disabilities, mental illness, physical handicaps and/or who are
simply aged and cannot live alone, yet do not need continuous
nursing care.
A Home for the Aged (HFA) provides 24 hour room, board, and
supervised personal care to 21 or more unrelated individuals 60
years of age or older. A Home for the Aged also provide personal
care assistance with eating, bathing, dressing and grooming. The
facilities also provide medication management as well as general
supervision on a 24-hour basis.
The distinctions between these two care settings is as
follows. Homes for the Aged are restricted to assisting only
individuals over age 60. Adult Foster Care homes are restricted
by license to serving no more than 20 individuals, regardless of
age, at any given time.
Both AFC and HFA’s provide care to persons who are or have
mental illnesses, physical disabilities, and/or Alzheimer’s
Disease or related Dementia disorders. Payment for assistance in
either of these settings may come from private pay resources or
Medicaid.
