RESIDENTIAL CARE
Methodist Children's Home strives to provide the care necessary to meet the challenging needs of children and youth in today's society. Throughout its history, residential care has remained at the heart of Methodist Children's Home.

Residents range in age from 12 to 18 and the average stay at the Home is 18 months. Youth must be younger than 18 to be considered for admission. The Home's comprehensive program of care encourages residents to grow intellectually, emotionally, spiritually and physically.

Youth live with 8 to 12 residents in home units on the Waco campus, the Boys Ranch, and in a new residential program in Waxahachie. Students attend the University of Texas Charter School - MCH campus or local public schools that best meet their individual educational needs. Residents participate in religious, choir, athletic and recreational activities on campus and in the community. Each year, many of the Home's residents are recognized by their schools for success in academics and extracurricular activities.

Methodist Children's Home provides quality health care for residents through the campus medical clinic and local medical professionals. MCH offers a variety of religious education activities to encourage spiritual development. These include Sunday worship services and Wednesday evening activities, camps, mission trips and special events.
