Adult Foster Care Homes

If a senior feels very comfortable in a family home type environment with the same care provider day-in, day-out and is not in need of a lot of socialization, then an Adult Foster Care Home, also known as an Adult Family Home might just be the right situation for that specific senior.

A senior who enjoys the surroundings of a family home type environment might be overwhelmed living in a large facility. In the home-like atmosphere of an Adult Foster Care home, the senior can enjoy a meal at the dining-room table with 3 other like minded residents or visit with the others in the family living-room; yet, watch TV in the privacy of their own bedroom. Only the senior and/or family members will know which type of senior care setting is the most appropriate for the individual senior.

There are approximately 92 licensed Adult Foster Care Homes in Montana. The owner of the home must live in the home and provide the care and is only licensed for up to 4 residents. As you search for a home in your area, you may find a home that is only licensed for 1 or perhaps 3, so do take the time to inquire about their capacity and ability to manage the care required. It is always recommended, wherever possible, that you visit more than just one home. Each home has its own personality or character. What is the best match for your senior needing care?
