Adult foster care is one of the social services intended for elderly people who are no longer capable of living on their own, who are infirm and/or have some form of a disability. This paper presents the results of a qualitative research whose aim was to explore the experience and satisfaction of the adult foster care providers regarding the current state of foster care and their thoughts about how to improve adult foster care. Ten foster caregivers who come from the areas supervised by the Centre for Social Welfare Osijek and Centre for Social Welfare Beli Manastir participated in the research. The research was conducted using semi-structured interview and observation method while the obtained data was processed using thematic analysis. The results point to numerous difficulties within the foster care including lack of cooperation with the employees of the social welfare system and the healthcare system, difficulties in creating conditions favorable for work-life balance, lack of active involvement of foster caregivers in the process of individual planning, lack of support from the employees of the centers for social welfare and the insufficient fees for foster caregivers. Foster caregivers recommended the establishment and maintenance of continuous cooperation with foster caregivers and the employees of the social welfare, specific education designed to meet the needs of foster caregivers, change of the level of the fee, more content for the placement users and cooperation with the Ministry of Labour, Pension System, Family and Social Policy for the improvement of the foster care service.
