ABOUT RANCH HOPE INC. ALLOWAY CAMPUS – BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES
Ranch Hope, Inc. is a faith-based treatment community that operates several facilities and thrift stores throughout southern New Jersey. At its Alloway Campus, about 30 minutes east of Wilmington, Del., the behavioral healthcare organization runs two specialty homes for “medically fragile” boys aged 12 to 16 with co-occurring disorders and a history of trauma.
There’s also a 43-bed Residential Intensity of Service (IOS) Program.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
According to the organization’s website, admission into Ranch Hope’s two specialty homes requires that applicants be males between the ages of 12 and 16, diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, and have a co-occurring disorder.
Both situated in the Alloway Campus’ treatment community, the five-bed Omega House and the seven-bed Campbell House provide boys with one-on-one therapy and medically monitored, trauma-informed care. They’ll have opportunity for self-esteem building, life skills training, and take part in a skill-focused, academic curriculum. “High levels of family involvement” can also be expected.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
Ranch Hope staffs an experienced team of master’s level social workers, a board-certified pediatric doctor, therapists, and administrative professionals.
ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES
Ranch Hope’s various programs can collectively house more than 55 boys at a time. The newly-constructed Residential Treatment features private bedrooms, a kitchen, and laundry facilities, “all for a maximum of 4 youth per home.” Also on-site at the Alloway campus is a swimming pool, a fitness center, an activity center, and outdoor areas used for recreation.
