Our agency monitors and provides supports to licensed Adult Developmental Home (ADH) providers. Our niche is ADH’s. We specialize in working with ADH providers. We’re proven ADH leaders. We give you the tools to succeed!
We want All in the Family to be your trusted resource. Because our niche is ADH’s we can speak to rules, regulations, and trends in the field.
Our agency is a Qualified Vendor with the Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES) and Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD), and is responsible for recruiting applicants, conducting the home study/investigation of the applicants, and providing CORE training to applicants who want to become licensed as Adult Developmental Home providers.
Although we assist applicants to officially submit applications for licensure, only the DES Office of Licensing, Certification, & Regulation (OLCR) has the authority to review and evaluate your application for compliance with licensing regulations. OLCR makes the decision to ISSUE OR DENY a license. This is true of all annual provider license renewals as well.
AITF is the middle man between the state and your license; you are NOT employees and we are NOT your employer. Although this is a job you get paid for, the money is non-taxable which also means it DOES NOT count into your future Social Security Income.
We're growing! But we’re selective in our growth and in our goal of creating families.
What types of individuals and families are we looking for?
To begin the application process to become a licensed ADH provider you must meet the following minimum requirements:
Please remember:
Your job as an ADH provider is NOT to be a caregiver to the individual. Caregivers DO for others.
Your job is to PREPARE the individual to DO for themselves.
Your job as an ADH provider is NOT to be the individual’s best friend. You need to be a mentor, a role model and a teacher.
Your job as an ADH provider is NOT to hover over the individual to make sure they don’t fail at anything. Failures teach people A LOT.
Your job as an ADH provider IS to connect with each individual and teach the life skills that person needs in order to thrive and grow in the very best way they can. PERIOD.
This means allowing vulnerable adults enough free time to learn how to structure their own time.
This means allowing vulnerable adults their own individuality along with some independence.
This means allowing vulnerable adults to face the consequences of mistakes. With YOUR assistance, failures should teach an individual how to pick their self up and try again.
This means encouraging who the individual is AS A PERSON. The individuals who come into your ADH need to learn it’s OK to explore what is unknown to them because they know you are there to encourage and catch them if they fall.
