Specialized Adult Foster Care Services
What makes us different?
An adult foster care home differs in a few aspects from an assisted living facility. An assisted living facility accommodates more residents at a time. However, there is a cost. A bigger facility resembles a hospital rather than a home. Often, assisted living facilities are not subject to state regulation, meaning they don’t need to undergo regular care assessments. The lack of regulation can result in lower levels of care.
At A Trusted Friend Residential Services, we take a different approach. We can promise your loved one:
-
A limited number of residents with the advantage of individualized adult care
-
Homier environments than standard assisted living facilities
-
Strict adherence to standards set by Michigan’s Department of Health and Human Services.
When you choose A Trusted Friend Residential Services for your loved one, you can expect them to receive a better standard of care overall. Our home and community take shape under the guidance of caring and experienced individuals rather than faceless business people.
