Mental Health Collaboration HubA corporate group home for youth is a residential facility operated by a corporate entity, providing housing, supervision, and support services for young individuals. These homes are often designed to offer a stable environment for youth who may face challenges or need assistance, such as those in the foster care system or with behavioral issues. The corporate aspect indicates that it is managed by a business or organization rather than a government agency or non-profit.
Discharging today 6/20 to group home
Came to our ED solely due to not having another placement. Has boarded in our ED in the past. Was previously at Bar None Shelter plus where she assaulted others and was taken to JDC. Was in JDC for a week when a judge ordered her to be removed, so CPS brought her to the ED as they had no other place to go. CPS is searching for group home placement as that is what the County’s juvenile screening team deemed the appropriate level of care.

Pt was brought into ED on 5/11 by mother due to allegations of abuse. Mother resides in DV shelter and shelter is not allowing pt to return there due to pt behaviors (bangs his head, kicks walls, makes threats, aggression toward mother.)
