A residential treatment center for 46 young victims of severe abuse and neglect ranging in age from 6 - 16 years of age. Established as an orphanage in 1929 and known today as a group home. Once a child is removed from their abusive situation, they become wards of the court. They are placed with us from the local and adjacent counties. An average of 12 months, but it varies with each child.
All residential counselors live either in the cottages with the children or in on-campus housing.
There are 37 staff members who currently live on campus. Children come to us beaten, afraid, angry, confused and withdrawn. Our program allows them to slowly regain trust in adults by interacting with them through play, therapy and nurturing. The State of California rates Hillview's Classification Level as 12. This means that the treatment required is intense and extensive.
