2. Adult Foster Care
From January 1974 through March 1978, the District authorized payment of a state supplement for persons certified as eligible for Adult Foster Care. In April 1978, the District created a bi-level rate structure within its Adult Foster Care Home program and significantly increased the total payment levels for individuals/couples. The level of payment was determined by the resident capacity of the participating facility. Certified persons in facilities with 50 or fewer residents (OS code A) received a smaller payment than certified persons in a facility with 51 or more (OS code B) residents. These payment rates have increased since their inception.
The District refers to the facilities where it places individuals eligible for the Adult Foster Care Home state supplement as Certified Residential Facilities or CRFs.
