Adult foster homes needed in the Shoals and across Alabama
North Alabama is in need of more adult foster homes By DeAndria Turner | January 29, 2021 at 6:21 PM CST - Updated January 29 at 6:21 PM
FRANKLIN COUNTY, Ala. (WAFF) - Did you know that adults need foster homes in Alabama too?
We have all heard of caregivers and nursing homes, but what about adult foster homes?
“I supervise foster care and adult protective services and that has increased,” said Leah Yocom.
Yocom works with Franklin county DHR. She said there is an increased need for adult foster homes for adult protective services.
“We have reports of physical abuse, neglect, exploitation for the adults and we investigate that and sometimes people have a physical or mental capacity that they need additional services,” said Yocom.
