Foster Care

Angelheart Values Foster Families

Angelheart offers a wide variety of programs to help ensure the children in care are adequately provided for.

Advisory Meetings

Quarterly, collaborative meetings with Families and Administrative staff.

Teamwork

At Angelheart, we feel that a team approach is vital to the success of the children in foster placement with the focus on the family as the central unit.

Emergency Assistance

An on call worker is available 24 hours a day. Families are provided with the contact information for all Administrative staff.

Respite Assistance

Angelheart has a respite policy for foster parents to be reimbursed for taking a needed break. The respite reimbursement policy is calculated on the number of children in your home and based on a 48 hour break. The first child is reimbursed at $75.00, every child thereafter is reimbursed at $25.00 per child.

Mileage

Reimbursement is 40 cents per mile for travel as defined in our foster parent handbook.

Commitment

Our goal as an agency is to provide strong clinical support to families. Angelheart is also committed to ensuring that our Case Managers are accessible to foster families to ensure that all aspects of quality care are being obtained.

Reimbursement Rates

In order to meet the needs of children in care, foster parents are partially reimbursed monthly for expenses of children in care. The reimbursement is to pay for clothing, food, shelter, recreation, etc. Daily rates are based on the levels of care which are determined by specific behaviors of the child or youth.
