The program places the aged in regular family homes or with capable widows which have been recruited by the Coupnty Welfare office. Foster parents are selected on the basis of their ability to provide care in a family setting for lonely, isolated persons who no longer can live alone but who are not afflicted with serious medical problems or mental problems requiring nursing care. Older persons dont like to surrendering' themselves nursing homes said Mr. Parker. Most have been independent all their lifetime and have made Important contributions to the communities where they have lived. funds allocated to the State Division of Welfare under amendments to the National Social Security Act eral Monthly boarding payments are made to acceptable foster "parents at the rate of $125.00 per placement, and the aged person receives an additional $10.00 per month as a separate personal needs allowance. Medical expenses are met by the Division of Welfare In line with medical assistance existing programs. Mr. Parker said that some of the aged participants in the program throughout the state are responding with noticable Improvement not only in morale and general well being but also in actual physical health. New family associations and new contacts provide a feeling of usefulness, and many are relating to their new families much as any grandparent would.
