Longer Term Group Homes
Longer term group homes are based upon care and guidance rather than solely on clinical considerations. Our homes are designed around access to community programs that offer therapy and support the growth of youth in care. Two of our homes provide both short term and long term placements. These programs combine the elements of shelter and the need to respond quickly to a crisis in a youth’s life and of longer term care where the youngster needs to stay in their community, can thrive in a group setting but do not need a more intense treatment setting. Both homes have dual licenses to address these different designs.
