COAAA - Adult Foster Homes

Adult Foster Home Program

The purpose of the Adult Foster Home Program is to assist elderly, blind & disabled adults who need some assistance or supervision but do not require skilled nursing care. Residents receive help with personal care to remain in the community in a safe and supervised environment.

Adult Foster Home providers are individuals or families with the desire and ability to help others. Providers share their home and family life with either one or two residents. Being a provider involves a commitment to provide room, meals, accommodations and personal care to the residents living in the home.

Adult Foster Homes must conform to prescribed guidelines on space, furnishings, nutrition, safety and cleanliness. Caregivers may have to reconfigure their homes in order to meet such guidelines designed to protect both the operator and the resident.

PASSPORT receives 99% approval rating

Consumers gave Ohio’s 12 Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) a better than 99% approval rating on their management of the PASSPORT program throughout 2011. On January 30, the Ohio Department of Aging released data reporting results of its consumer satisfaction survey for the entire state.

Consumers rated their satisfaction through participation in programs offered by AAAs at over 99% statewide.

“We are passionate about providing information to individuals and family members and helping them navigate through a complex system of care when they need it most," said Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging Director Cindy Farson.

"Our employees work very hard to respond to the needs of frail people who rely on in-home services, like PASSPORT, to remain in their communities.”
