Abstract
Geriatric foster care, the use of private family residences for the care of nonrelated elderly persons, is among the least restrictive alternatives to institutional placement. The basic prototype principles include broadly defined client population, maximum accessibility in referral sources, flexible use of existing local services, and uniform statewide quality guidelines. Indicators of success are outlined and implementation issues are raised.Keywords
