Basic Care Group Homes (Level I, II and III)
Hephzibah Children's Home is a Residential Group Home for
children ages 6-18 needing levels of care I, II and III. We are a 60
bed facility (six group homes, ten residents in each
home). Most children placed in this program are in state custody.
Level of Care I:
At this level there are occasional mild and emotional and/or
behavioral problems that interfere with the child's ability to
function in the family, school and/or community. The focus of care
is on reassurance, consistency and regular parenting type activities
with guidance and supervision needed to develop normalized social
skills and to ensure emotional and physical well being.
Level of Care II:
A child at this level has mild emotional and/or behavioral
management problems that interfere with the child's ability to function
in the family, school and/or community. The child at this level
likely has a mental health diagnosis. Behaviors include infrequent
impulsive or deliberate acts that may result in minor property
destruction, nonviolent anti-social acts and some oppositional
behavior. Care, treatment and supervision are provided in the
supportive settings of residential facilities.
Level of Care III
A child has moderate and/or occasional serious emotional and/or
behavioral management problems that interfere with their ability to
function in the family, school and or community when outside of a
therapeutic setting. At this level, care, supervision, and
treatment are provided in an environment in which many activities
are therapeutically designed to improve the child's social,
emotional and educational functioning and to teach the child
pro-social, adaptive skills.
Children and young people may be placed at Hephzibah Children's Home by the Department of Family and
Children's Services and the Department of Juvenile Justice of the State of Georgia, or by individual families
from anywhere in the United States. Placement information may be obtained as follows:
