What does this business do, sell, or produce? Care4All Children Services, Inc. is a Licensed 501c(3) Non-profit Foster Care and Adoption agency. I am the Founder and Executive Director. Care4All Children Services recruits, trains and recommends families for approval in order to obtain a license to foster children in their home. Our Adoption license allows us to locate permanent homes for homeless and or foster children. Once a home is licensed and children are placed for foster care or adoption, Care4All provides follow up social services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with case management to ensure that the Physical Health, Mental Health, Educational/Vocational, Well-being and Permanency Needs of the children are being met. Our staff also meet the needs of the foster parents by supporting and giving them Educational and Emotional tools to be successful.

As a Therapeutic Foster Care Agency, Care4All requires more training for parents initially and on-going. The agency provides more support for children and caregivers. Treatment foster care is preferred over residential or group home-care because it maintains children in family settings, which in turn reduces incidences of trauma, and in some cases leads to a forever home for children who might otherwise not have a family. To ensure the safety and security of children, Care4All’s intensive foster parent training includes Crisis Management, Emergency Response, Discipline With Care, Medication Administration, Sexual Exploitation of Minors, Signs of Child Abuse, Understanding Trauma, Disaster Preparedness and Appropriate Supervision to name a few.

Care4All Children Services, Inc., ensures the Safety, Quality of Care and Permanency Support of each foster and adoptive child as our number one goal. Our mission is dedicated to strengthening families one home at a time by providing quality Adoptive and Foster homes for children.  Since inception in 2012, Care4All has provided safety and permanency support to over three thousand children.

Industry: Home Health Care

What does this business do, sell, or produce? Care4All Community Care is licensed by the Georgia Department of Community Health as a Private Home Care agency to provide in-home health care.

The agency provides pediatric home-health nursing care to children on life-support who otherwise would have been in the hospital. Nursing and other in-home services are provided 24 hours a day seven days a week. The agency’s main population are children in foster care or children whose family are unable to meet their health needs.

Adult care includes the elderly, veterans and individuals with developmental disability or traumatic brain injuries. For this population, Care4All provides home-health care services to help with medication, personal-care, errands and activities of daily living.

Care4All was incorporated in 2011 and has since worked conscientiously to meet the healthcare needs of the children and adults in Georgia in need of home care.
