“…These differences were attributed primarily to higher fees for service to the developmentally disabled in primarily non-profit homes. Allowable funding rates for the developmentally disabled are generally higher than for the mentally ill (Blaustein & Viek, 1987).…”

“…The literature on foster home caregivers and their experiences is limited. The characteristics of caregivers, their motivation, caregiver satisfaction and caregiver relationships with their residents were topics of earlier research (Beatty and Seeley, 1980;Blaustein and Viek, 1987;Mousseau-Glaser, 1988). More recent studies have dealt with issues such as stress and burden (Cook et al, 1997;Jones et al, 1995;Karp and Tanarugsachock, 2000;Ricard, 1991;Ricard and Fortin, 1993;Song et al, 1997;Tucker et al, 1998;Wijngaarden et al, 2003), and coping strategies (Hatfield, 1987;Olshevski et al, 1999;Stengard, 2002;Turnbull and Turnbull, 1988).…”

“…Beatty and Seeley's (1980) investigation of 39 foster homes revealed that the typical caregiver is female, has raised a family, and then becomes a caregiver. Blaustein and Viek (1987) reported that 81% of caregivers chose to operate a foster home to "help people". Sickman and Dhooper (1991) revealed that 35% of caregivers had seen a family member function as a caregiver and decided to follow this example.…”
