Adelphoi Village provides Kinship Care Services to determine whether a potential kin caregiver’s home is a safe placement for youth remanded to the child welfare system. Adelphoi Village provides two types of services: Home Safety/Caretaker Assessment Study and Formal Kinship Caregiver Services.
The Home Safety/Caretaker Assessment Study is used to evaluate the safety of a potential kin caregiver’s home and assess the ability of the kin caregiver. The assessment, which includes a home inspection, is based upon a careful, responsive assessment of the strength and needs of the youth and birth family and the ability and desire of the kinship caregiver to meet these needs.
The Formal Kinship Caregiver Services includes regular casework services within the home on a bi-weekly basis.
