Gov. Kay Ivey proclaimed June 15 as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day to raise awareness and encourage more residents to open their homes to vulnerable Alabamians.
The Alabama Department of Human Resources is looking to add an adult foster care home for elderly and adult residents in each of Alabama’s 67 counties.
Alabama’s elderly and disabled can find themselves in circumstances that make them more vulnerable and in need of an alternative form of care, and the need for adult foster care homes is only growing.
