Cari Levy
Adult foster care provides an alternative to nursing home care. Residents are cared for in a private home by a caregiver who provides 24 hour supervision. The caregiver receives payment for room and board and for the care services provided. States vary in their regulatory approach but are increasingly viewing this model of care favorably due to the lower costs and preference for this model of care among frail older adults and their families. Opportunities for nurses in this relatively new care environment are numerous ranging from case managementto direct care provision.
