Others had parents and homes to return to when feasible.In 2002, the Lancaster Children's Home moved to a 121-acre location that includes separate campuses for the girls and boys. The facility currently provides facilities for 10 high management females and 10 moderate management males and 10 low management males. The home has a staff of 33 which includes a full-time licensed therapist. The Home also utilizes a volunteer program as well as mentors from the community.
