Family Home
Providers are unique and special people because they are willing to open
their hearts and their homes to provide adult foster care for adults with
intellectual and dvelopmental disabilities. This is more than a day
time commitment. In fact, many of our Family Home Providers have had the
same individual living with them for several years.
The focus of the Staffed Residences is to maximize independent functioning of the individual by the
use of a staffed residence in which up to three adult clients live. The
home is staffed by Pennyroyal Center staff 24-hours a day. Eligibility for placement
will be determined based on an interview by the Admissions and Review Committee,
documentation and necessary evaluations. Immediately following the interview,
the committee will meet and make a decision regarding the eligibility and
appropirateness of the applicant in regard to the available home(s). This
decision will be communicated to the applicant/family/guardian within 72
hours of the appointment.
