Stable Out-of-home Placements For Children With Benchmark Family Services

There are times when it becomes necessary for children to be placed outside their homes. Some of these circumstances are when parents or caregivers are unable to care for children, or they become abandoned, neglected or abused, making it unsafe, to stay in that environment. In some of these cases, it may necessitate therapeutic foster care, which works to address the child’s emotional, physical, and psychological needs.

New Carlisle, OH – Benchmark Family Service provides youth with quality out-of-home care for those who may be in need. When a child does come into care, we strive that the experience is done professionally and by collaborations with a referring agency to coordinate support, treatment, services and care that the child may not only need, but deserves. The quality services get achieved by recruiting and training a network of professional, therapeutic foster care homes in Indiana and Kentucky. The foster care agency strives to offer their contracting agencies a variety of beds available for youth, with an understanding of being timely in identifying suitable homes.  

In addition, the agency supports their homes with ongoing training, which equips them with skills and an ever growing expertise to handle the youth and provide them with exceptional care. Also, the 24/7 availability enables Benchmark Family Service to quickly respond to an emergency and distress calls providing the required service in real time to address situations as they are occurring.  This availability also allows for referrals to be made after business hours with every attempt from our on-call staff to identify late night/ after-hour placements.  

Benchmark Family Service has a program staff who manage the cases assigned to the agency. The qualified staff members provide coordination, oversight, contacts and visits to the homes and youth in care to ensure that the whole objective of the program gets fully met. The staff also coordinates therapy and psychiatric services for the youth to have the opportunity to address their physical, emotional and psychological issues or traumas with support. Individuals, with an interest in making a difference in a child’s life through the provision of therapeutic foster care, have the possibility of joining the agency by contacting the agency and participating in the licensing process.

The agency holds itself to the highest quality standard in its licensing processes, case management procedures, and internal operations. When it comes to state requirements adherence, the agency uses a placement management system through ASlware to meet and in some cases, surpass their requirements.  This system, not only provides a central repository for all case management information, but promotes the ability to provide consistent care and support. The agency streamlines all its procedures, enabling them to quickly respond to information requests by custodial agencies. Also, the streamline of procedures enables them to make crucial decisions to help the youth meet their goals.
