Some other family

[Topstudent]

Hi. I'm writing some fiction.

A boy has just lost his parents in an accident. Two officers talk:
Officer: They asked us to take him to the hospital for an extra check, and then someone from Social Services will meet him there. I hope he has some other family who can take care for him.

Is it perfectly clear that I mean some other family members in this context and not a different family?

It's clear to me and I'd say it would be to most people.

[The sentence should end '... who can take care of him'.]

I hope he has some other family who can take care for him.

If you intended the latter, you'd have to phrase it as something like "I hope there's some other family who can take care of him."

I doubt anyone would mistake your original version to mean some other non-related family.
