“Shella” was named for Shelton and Della Foster who had spent their lives assisting their daughter (Debbie) through multiple disabilities until Parkinson’s Disease took the life of Shelton in 2005.

Experiencing firsthand the challenges of caring for individuals with functional needs inspired the development of Shella Care Management Services and the Non-Profit Shella Foundation. Our desire is to assist other families dealing with the same difficulties in a “family friendly” environment. Today “Shella” serves families and individuals in four counties to receive the assistance needed to remain in their own homes.

Michael G. Foster, the founder of Shella Care Management Services (SCMS) and The Shella Foundation, currently own and operate Shella Care Management Services. Michael G. Foster also resides as Chairman of the Board of Directors for the non-profit "Shella Foundation."
