Foster Care Licensing
Foster care for adults is a government mandated and licensed service in many American states. The province of Ontario sets mandatory standards of care and issues licenses for agencies that provide foster care for children. In Ontario, there are no mandatory standards for the provision of adult foster care.
Johnson Adult Foster Care is a division of Johnson Children’s Services, Inc. We have a license to provide foster care to children. All of our homes for adults are approved under the same standards and protocols we use for placing children. To be an approved home, under our license for foster care, each home must meet minimum standards of health, safety, and quality. Every adult in each of our homes has been individually screened and has submitted a vulnerable person’s police check. The primary care providers receive intensive training before an adult is placed. In addition, care providers receive intensive ongoing training.
- Have a “resident placement agreement,” which identifies the provider’s responsibilities, the resident’s responsibilities, and the family’s responsibilities.
- Allow periodic, unannounced site visits by social workers.
- Allow access by family members or anyone else designated by the resident including unfettered contact by phone and mail
- Have a plan in place to ensure the safety of each resident.
- Residents or their families have a right to file an oral or written complaint with the agency or the province. All complaints are investigated promptly by our Executive Director and reports issued within five days.
