How long do children stay at the Florida United Methodist Childrens Home?
The length of stay for a resident varies from a few weeks to several years. The extensive counseling services of the Home available to children and their families have helped the Home to be responsible to state regulations in reducing time necessary for a child to remain in the care of the Home. Each child is an individual and the time in residence will be influenced by the complexity of the problems they and their families face and the progress they can make in dealing with those problems. The best interests of the child are always of primary concern to the program of the Home.
