Guardian Angel Residential Program For Youth | About
About
Our residential program strives to provide a safe, therapeutic environment to facilitate enhanced functioning of youth in their families and community, to intervene in the cycle of abuse and neglect, and to promote the long-term emotional, spiritual and social well-being of the children and families we serve.
Program History
Guardian Angel Home has a storied history of serving children in need for nearly two centuries. It was originally an orphanage home for children and opened its doors in 1848 in Metamora, Illinois. In 1914, Guardian Angel Home moved to its present-day campus in Morton, Illinois, due to the need for a larger building.
In 1970, as orphanages were being phased out, Guardian Angel Home was transformed into a residential treatment center for boys and girls who were abused and neglected, sexually abused, and wards of the state of Illinois.
Currently, Guardian Angel Home is a 16-bed, all-male, residential treatment facility that is licensed for ages 6 to 12 years.
Program Referrals
Referrals for intake screening are most frequently made by DCFS. Guardian Angel Home can also accept private pay clients but this requires pre-approval by their insurance company.
