Leveraging over 30 years of expertise, our staff provides high-quality care aimed at supporting at-risk children and their families.

Children and youth in foster care benefit from the warmth and compassion of our foster families. Health Connect America equips foster parents with the necessary training to offer comprehensive, coordinated care in their homes. Additionally, 24-hour support from our mental health professionals and team ensures that both children and families receive the assistance and guidance they need.

Approximately 69,000 youth are in foster care across Health Connect America’s service regions, which include Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Mississippi, and Virginia. Over half of these children are aged ten and older, highlighting a critical need for focused support for this age group.

Once a child is placed in your home, you will be assigned an HCA case manager. Your case manager is available to assist you and your foster child 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Each child has a unique set of needs and your case manager will help support you and your child to ensure all their needs are met. This includes working hand in hand with your child’s social services county of origin to initiate outpatient therapy, in-home therapy, medication management, and other services that are deemed to be in the best interest of the child. Social services will have developed a unique foster care plan for your child. The plan contains many goals for your child, including a plan for permanency. The permanency plan for your child may be reunification with their biological family or adoption. Your assigned case manager will work with social services, your family, and the foster child to ensure the steps outlined in this plan are being met as best as possible.

As well as having a circle of support while providing care to your foster child, HCA provides a monthly stipend to assist with room, board, and daily essentials. HCA abides by the state stipend guidelines. The stipend rate differs from state to state but is primarily based on the child’s level of need. In addition, in many states, day care costs are covered for working parents.

Whether your family is interested in providing respite care, full-time foster care, or fostering with the goal to adopt, we are here to support you along the way. Our goal is to ensure every child is given the opportunity to live in a safe, stable, and loving environment and each and every one of our staff are dedicated to supporting you and your foster child throughout your fostering journey.
