Abstract
A growing body of literature on the provision of care for the minimally impaired elderly in the homes of nonrelatives includes such alternatives as boarding houses and communal living arrangements supervised by professionals. This paper explores one other alternative, foster home or family-care placement as it is utilized in New York. Three distinct public family-care programs for the elderly are examined in terms of the individual, the family, and the community.
