Therapeutic residential campus

A safe and loving home for intellectually and developmentally delayed foster youth
Hoyleton Main Campus Building in Hoyleton Illinois
At our residential campus in Hoyleton, IL every youth in care receives individual therapy, life skills training, access to ongoing education, and the opportunity to develop social skills with their peers through various settings including community projects, participant sports, and recreational activities.

RESIDENTIAL CARE TRANSITIONING PLANNING

Our residential treatment team’s main goal is to help children and youth transition to living with their family or traditional foster care setting.

Steps in developing a traditional transition plan include:
  • Create behavioral stabilization goals that can be managed in a family setting
  • Help them regulate their emotions and rely on adults for help
  • Improve coping skills
  • Help them discuss and work through their trauma with therapy assistance
  • Prepare the caregiver on ways to support the youth
 

Nearly 90%

of those living at the cottages say the services they receive are helping them make positive life changes; over 95% feel they have the ability to cope with everyday life.
