PENNSYLVANIA HOMEMAKER SERVICES
Providing Comprehensive and Continuous Care to Families and Children
Empowering Families to Become Strong and Self-Sufficient
At Family Care for Children & Youth, we understand that childhood and adolescence can be difficult for children who do not have a stable home environment. Many children in the foster system feel isolated, alienated, and without a place in society. Our family-based foster care provides a supportive and nurturing alternative to group homes, and Family Care for Children & Youth has a wide range of resources for children, foster families, and biological families. Contact an FCCY office near you to learn more.

PENNSYLVANIA HOMEMAKER SERVICES
The Homemaker Program at Family Care for Children & Youth is a program that grew from our commitment to providing comprehensive care for the children and families entrusted to us. Our foster care agency’s goal is to provide a full continuum of services. The Homemaker Program is a prevention-focused, in-home service that fully complements our existing placement and reunification programs.
The Homemaker Program has several readily identifiable goals. First, children will be safe and well cared for within their own families, who are trained and supported to meet their children’s individual needs. Frequent homemaker contact with families, strength-based assessments of needs, and comprehensive training and support are the keys to successful services. The Homemaker Program aims at a strengthened biological/legal family in order to promote placement prevention and the internalizing of skills and values which will lessen the possibility of future placements once Homemaker services are terminated. We are striving to make our programs even more comprehensive and cost-effective for agencies that contract with us. The Homemaker Program seeks to empower client families to become more self-sufficient by helping them identify and become effective in using expanded family and community resources. This last goal can be achieved by entering into collaboration with appropriate community services.
Homemakers develop positive working relationships with their assigned families; they model the roles of parent, provider, homemaker, and citizen. They provide help, guidance, and feedback according to individual needs. The mission of our agency is to organize and support this process as well as provide additional resources to enhance and promote success.

"THEY CARE ABOUT THE CHILDREN AND ARE VERY THOROUGH"
My husband and I always tell people that talk to us about wanting to foster or adopt about our agency. We enjoy working with this agency because the staff not only care about the careful placement of a child but also about us as a family. Our agency is available and quick to respond to us whether we have an emergency or just a question. They care about the children and are very thorough to ensure the children and the foster family are getting what they need.

"WE ENJOY GIVING BACK"
Fostering is very positive experience not only for ourselves but also for the child’s well-being. We enjoy giving back. Providing a loving, nurturing home to a child gives the child an opportunity to have a normal childhood as possible.

"WE WOULD RECOMMEND FCCY"
Picking FCCY to work with has been the best thing my husband and I could have done. We have had only positive experiences with this agency. The case managers are so good and give you total support as a foster parent. We would recommend FCCY to others looking into foster care.
