Knotts Family Agency has reaffirmed its 24/7 Parent Support Guarantee for foster families across Riverside County, backing the commitment with a 15-minute average response time for every after-hours call the agency receives.
REDLANDS, Calif., Aug. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Families seeking foster care agencies with 24/7 support in Riverside County can turn to Knotts Family Agency (KFA), which has renewed a specific promise to close that gap. The agency confirmed its Parent Support Guarantee remains active for every foster family it serves locally, backed by a dedicated after-hours team that answers calls in an average of 15 minutes.
What Does Around-the-Clock Foster Parent Support Actually Involve?
Emergencies involving a child in foster care rarely arrive during business hours, and KFA built its support model around that reality. Dedicated personnel remain on call around the clock so that foster parents can reach a real person immediately, and the 15-minute average response time applies specifically to families that the agency serves in the region.
"Become a foster parent in Riverside County through Knotts Family Agency, and you'll see the difference. We have been in the foster care and adoption sector since 1992. Our years of experience, combined with a unique approach to foster parenting, make us a credible leader in our field," according to Knotts Family Agency.
How Does This Guarantee Fit Into KFA's Broader Support Model?
Around-the-clock response is one piece of a wider Parent Delight philosophy that treats foster parents as partners. Local foster parents also benefit from:
- Financial transparency: KFA reimburses foster parents at rates that typically exceed the state minimum by an average of $50 per month, with specialized programs offering higher rates for children with complex needs.
- Training incentives: Foster parents completing over 40 hours of annual training may qualify for additional stipends.
- Dedicated emotional support: Foster parents gain access to their own psychological support, separate from services provided to children in care.
With experience in California's foster care system since 1992, KFA pairs after-hours reliability with a foster-adopt pathway, respite options and ongoing training designed to keep families supported at every stage.
