Established
in 1966, Crittenton provides residential treatment to children (boys
and girls ages 6-12) and adolescent girls (ages 12-21) who have been
removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect, who are pregnant
or parenting, or who have entered the juvenile justice system as youth
offenders. All clients in our care have been assessed as needing intensive
therapy, socialization skills, independent living skills, and a lot
of "tender loving care" in a structured setting. To further
server these troubled children, we also operate a non-public school,
a transitional living program and a foster care agency. We currently
serve 148 children and adolescents in residential settings and more
than 50 additional children in foster homes throughout Southern California. |

To
best match the needs of children with the capabilities of agencies,
the State of California uses a "level" system. The higher
the level of care needed by a child, the greater the capabilities
required of an agency for counseling, medical care, staff supervision,
etc. Obviously, the higher the level of service, the greater the cost
of providing that care. The highest level of care is a Level 14 -
virtually a psychiatric hospitalization. Crittenton is a Level 12
program which requires a high level of staffing 24 hours a day / 7
days a week as well as comprehensive counseling, medical, and other
services. To continue to qualify at such a high level, FCS must maintain
high staffing levels, a high ration of degreed and/or experienced
staff, and extensive staff training. Most counties are greatly in
need of level 12 and level 14 beds - places that FCS that can successfully
treat greatly troubled children. |
