A Valuable Service for Adults with Special Needs

Johnson Adult Foster Care (JAFC) is designed around evidence based treatment, led by valid and reliable assessment measures and research on the needs of the clients. JAFC serves adults from 18 to 99 years of both genders. JAFC will accept any combination of the following special needs:
1. Disorders on the Autism Spectrum
2. Intellectual deficits: mild, moderate, severe
3. Psychiatric Disorder, including schizophrenia
Services are designed from an initial comprehensive assessment of needs using tools recommended by the Ontario government for specific populations: interRAI for people with psychiatric illness, SIS for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and the CARS for people with autism. There are three foundations to the JAFC treatment approach:
Needs First
The people we serve often have great difficulty performing such basic tasks as understanding instructions, communicating their needs, getting dressed and cleaning themselves. Many need help with incontinence, managing money and accessing the community. Our foster parents and staff assess the individual for basic human needs and design a plan to meet every identified need. Our goal is to ensure that every individual living in our homes feel deeply cared about and completely safe.
