A Place To Call Home is about Family. It is our mission to provide as natural a family environment as possible, to accommodate short and long-term or more permanent additions within our fostering and adopting families. We believe in natural family supports such as security, emotional/personal bonding, healthy family values, responsible parenting, fellowship and love. Our approach to nurturing wholesome qualities, behavioral coping skills and educational supports, provides a more natural and positive developmental impact on the children, youth and adults we serve. APTCH recruits only the best foster families and professionals to join our team. Prioritizing our children and adults in care; having a genuine passion for helping our most vulnerable populations, is the benchmark for success in our organization. APTCH is one of the few foster care providers that is multiply contracted with DCS, DES, DDD, Behavioral Health and Native American communities across AZ. This allows our families to have options in fostering children and adults and allows our staff to have a more universal education within the foster care arena. APTCH was formed to make a difference in the lives of persons with special needs and disabilities. The need for quality families is tremendous because the number of individuals in need of foster care services, including Adult Developmental Homes, continues to rise in Arizona and the United states. APTCH serves as a conduit to the partnership of families with individuals in the foster care system. APTCH prioritizes the care of foster children and adults, servicing as an advocate for families. As a part of APTCH, families will experience a relationship where quality matters, there is a significant commitment to the success of each family and decisions are made with the utmost concern for the well-being of children, adolescents and adults. Quality and timely services is our trademark but stability and permanency is our mission.
