is som ething new , but she says her
clients receive som ething different:
individualized care that keeps the
special needs o f di verse cultures in

A dult foster care helps clients

varying disabilities are cared for in
a hom e-setting, w ith cable televi

everyday. H ill's facility also has the
benefit o f a registered nurse on
duty, 24-hours a day.
"O n e o f the things happening in
the A frican-A m erican com m unity
is they are being displaced outside
the A frican-A m erican com m unity,
to places that d o n 't have the cu l
