BEST NEST, INC.
BEST NEST
Cultivating roots so children may � ourish
Best Nest promotes the safety, health and well-being of
children with special needs. We do this by educating
and empowering caregivers to access necessary resources
for themselves and provide permanent homes for children.
Providing foster care, adoption and in-home protective services for medically fragile children,
we serve close to 200 children every year and have reached more than 2000 children since we
opened our doors in 1987.
Best Nest was one of the � rst child welfare agencies in Pennsylvania to provide foster care
services to HIV-infected children and their families. We began our work in 1987 to respond to the
challenge that the HIV/AIDS epidemic presented to the child welfare system. Best Nest helped
to place HIV infected children with families willing to care for their unique needs. Since then,
we have evolved and grown to meet the needs of the full range of today’s children with special
needs. Our goal has always been to foster permanency for the children we serve, whether it's
� nding children adoptive parents or helping ensure that birth parents get the support and help
to serve their children’s special needs.
In 2009, Best Nest became an af� liate of Public Health Management Corporation, a nonpro� t
public health institute, assuring Best Nest a strong infrastructure to help us continue to grow
and provide children with loving, permanent homes.

Our philosophy is simple: Bring parents the services and support they need to care for their children.
Best Nest Makes a Difference
Our philosophy is simple: Bring parents the services and support they need to care for their children.
Best Nest gives parents the tools they need to cultivate the safety, health and well-being of a
child with special needs. Staff recruit potential foster and adoptive parents and invite them to an
orientation. After an initial screening, participants undergo a home safety evaluation and home
study during which a social worker assesses parenting capabilities. Several thorough meetings
between the social worker and potential parent occur, resulting in a � nal report. Those eligible
applicants are certi� ed as foster parents.
After certifying potential parents to foster or adopt, Best Nest staff members carefully match
the family to a child referred from the Philadelphia Department of Human Services and other
organizations. Each family’s unique capabilities are matched with each child’s particular needs.
And our work together continues long after we bring children and families together.
Best Nest's professional and caring team helps families access resources for their children. We
partner with other service providers to ensure that caregivers understand their child's unique
service needs. Through our long-standing relationships with school districts, medical providers,
equipment companies, behavioral health care providers, insurance companies and managed
care providers, we have established a strong network and comprehensive knowledge base to
help parents lovingly raise children with special needs with the support they require. We take a
hands-on approach: Best Nest staff accompany parents to appointments and help them navigate
the complex health system. Our work enables families to remain together.
