Since both parents in the home must be trained, Oasis provides both the pre-placement training and the continuing training to become a traditional and/or specialized care giver. Training sessions are held monthly.

Foster parents receive payment depending on the level of care the child requires.

Each child in care earns two alternative care/respite days a month. Another licensed Oasis foster family will provide alternative care/respite for your child.

Oasis provides a clothing allowance for spring & fall clothing as well as an allowance for a winter coat. An additional clothing allowance may be requested for initial clothing purchase or for special needs.

As a highly trained foster parent you are a professional who is certified and licensed to work in a cooperative planning program with your foster child. You will help decide the goals for a child to be successful in your home.

You will be treated professionally with personal support from Oasis professionals.

You will receive weekly contact from an Oasis case manager.
