  BetterLiving-Foster Care. This facility along with their staff is very professional and is very involved with family and kids that are in foster care. They are always keeping the visit dates and times. Always asking if we have any questions or need something they always are very concerned. I would highly recommend Better Living-Foster Care.
  They are a very caring group of people and truly am greatful for them.
  Thank You

  The Better Living Foster Care and Family Service staff is pretty amazing. Better Living employees go above and beyond to help the the Foster families with whatever they may need. I couldn't have chosen a better support system/team.

  I cannot say enough good things about the Better Living Agency. When going through the classes, to our first placement, the staff has been so supportive. This is an agency that truly cares for the placement of the children put in front of them, to the families that are there to help give them a home. My husband and I were hesitant on becoming foster parents for a few years. Doing our research online and trying to decide who would be the best one?! Better Living is truly the one you want to have by your side.

  Better Living is a wonderful foster agency. They have helped answer all my random questions during the licensing process. Before I committed, the director and I got together for coffee just to talk. The whole process was so smooth. They were accommodating with scheduling training. Now as a foster parent, my specialists have been great. They really advocate for what is needed.

  We have been dealing with Better Living Foster Care for 8-10 months. I have no complaints about their service. They have done the best they can dealing with us, our three foster kids, and their birth mother AND her issues. They have gone above and beyond in helping the kids in their path forward with their mom and with us.
