title: Foster family care: an innovative home care option.
abstract: Home care agencies can extend the range of long-term care service they provide by including foster family care. With this care option, clients move into host homes, where they receive room, board, and other necessary care. Foster family care is yielding benefits to clients, care providers, and agencies alike--and it's helping to achieve long-term care cost savings.
