Adult Foster Care (AFC) homes are residential settings that provide 24-hour personal care, protection, and supervision for individuals who are developmentally disabled, mentally ill, physically handicapped or aged who cannot live alone but who do not need continuous nursing care.
OK now, that's where I've ended up this time. This is my first experience with a long term adult foster care facility. I've been here since Wed, April 30, 2008. Today is Sat, May 3, 2008. So three nights. Talk about stress! Moved basically into a regular families home with two kids and a fighting Beta Fish. I'm starting to settle a little now, but being transfered around like a hot potato sucks. Hopefully I'll be here for the long term at least that's the plan. This is a kinda small house in an average neighborhood here in Eagan. My guess is around 1500 square feet of living space. Split level with a bathroom upstairs and one downstairs. The upstairs is the owners domain and we (me and two other clients) live downstairs. I got lucky and have my own room. We all get basic cable tv and they have a phone for the three of us to share. This place also has Internet access which I tapped into right away. The owner of the house said he would "allow" Internet access to the clients if we showed a sense of responsibility. One of the others here is a youngster and they always seem to be unruley. The other guy I had met before in a different home. So far it seems pretty cool here except the guy is being real tight with the food. I don't like that, I like to eat what I want when I want. That's not going to be the case here. I'm not sure exactly what's going on here yet but I'll be finding out. I'm going to sneek a few pictures and add them to this post later today, stay tuned.
