These guidelines developed by the Child Welfare League of America describe best practices for residential care. The standards identify types of residential services and address the components of service and treatment, organizational structure of services, the service environment and necessary equipment, and community support. Emphasis is placed on family-centered strategies, permanency, and outcomes. The standards review the characteristics of programs, purposes, services provided, duration, and staffing requirements.
