Residential Program

The Children's Aid Home provides residential care. The Children's Aid Home Programs are designed to provide structure and guidance while providing a consistent and secure environment in which each child can make changes in attitude and behavior. In addition to group and individualized therapy programs, residents also participate in home activities and responsibilities. The Children's Aid Home provides 24 hour supervision.

The Residential Services Unit has a capacity to provide care for up to 15 youths between the ages of 12 and 18 years old. Residential Services offer individual bedrooms, a large recreational area, a fitness center, and plenty of acreage for outdoor recreation.

Residential Programs are licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare Office of Children, Youth, and Family and Office of Mental Health.
