Our Family Based Care Residences have the unique feature of live-in house parents with shift-based child care support. These two residences provide family based care to children and youth who have often moved through the foster care system or adoption services because of their unique needs. These parent-model homes are a long term option, providing all the the desired qualities of a family home, with child care support added to greatly increase the likelihood of long term positive outcomes. These two residences are co-ed, for children and youth from 6-17.
